He uses a calm, non-judgemental approach to help clients talk through stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship strain.

He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and holds a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling.

Background and approach

Michael draws on person-centred methods to create a steady space where people can reflect and make choices that feel right for them. In sessions he focuses on listening carefully and following the client’s lead. That means less direction from him and more room for each person to find their own answers.

He uses simple, plain language and helps clients to put practical steps in place between meetings. Michael has around four years of experience working with concerns such as depression, addictions, ADHD and grief. He also supports people dealing with family conflict, intimacy problems, sleep difficulties and career stress.

Additional focus areas include feelings of emptiness, abandonment and guilt or shame. Supervision and peer review are part of his practice to keep his thinking sharp. People who meet him can expect steady, patient listening and help planning small, doable changes that aim to improve day-to-day life.

Person-centred care delivered online

Person-centred therapy focuses on the individual’s experience and on building a trusting, non-judgemental relationship. The therapist listens closely and mirrors back what is heard so clients can better understand their feelings and choices. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, relationship stresses and feelings of emptiness.

In practice that means Michael follows the client’s lead rather than directing the conversation. Sessions concentrate on what matters most to the person, helping them to notice patterns, name emotions and try small changes. This collaborative way of working helps decide which methods suit each person’s goals and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling more flexible. Video works well when visual connection helps the conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, reflective notes or when fitting a short session into a busy day.

Many people find online counselling easier to schedule and less disruptive to daily life, while still allowing meaningful therapeutic work with registered or accredited professionals. The therapist will work with the client to choose the best format and pace for their needs.
