Michael Green, BACP

Evidence-informed approaches and online support

Michael uses evidence-informed therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One common approach is solution-focused work, which concentrates on small, achievable steps to reduce stress and improve day-to-day coping. This helps people facing anxiety, overwhelm or motivation problems to make quick, manageable changes.

Another frequent method is trauma-informed conversation that helps people process difficult experiences at a pace that feels safe. This approach prioritises recognising the impact of trauma on thoughts and behaviour and supports the development of steadier emotional responses. Both approaches aim to build clearer thinking and more helpful habits rather than relying on technical labels.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which approaches fit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice is reviewed as therapy progresses to make sure the work stays useful and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling more flexible. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues, phone works well for check-ins or when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits shorter updates or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue work between face-to-face meetings.
