About Michael
Michael Broad is a counsellor in the United Kingdom and a member of the National Counselling Society (NCPS). He works in an integrative way, shaping sessions to the needs of each person. He has three years of experience helping people with stress, anxiety and depression and rebuilding confidence when someone feels low or stuck.
Michael pays attention to how early experiences can affect current relationships and self-image. In sessions he uses the counselling relationship as a way to look at those patterns.
Background and approach
Early work often focuses on practical steps to ease symptoms such as overthinking or panic. Once immediate pressures are reduced, he helps people look deeper at difficult emotions, painful memories and how they relate to others. That might include discussing trauma, addiction, relationship problems, or issues with intimacy and self-worth.
He aims to help people understand where certain reactions come from rather than simply suppressing them. Michael encourages responsibility and self-determination so people can shape the life they want. He works with clients to build resilience and strengthen existing resources.
The goal is more manageable daily life and a greater sense of purpose over time. Signing up for counselling can feel hard, and Michael recognises that first step takes courage. He offers straightforward, person-focused sessions that aim to be practical and reflective depending on what the client needs.

Approaches Michael lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the work. Michael treats this as a collaborative process and will discuss which methods feel most useful. He will adapt the style over time to match your goals and what helps you make steady progress.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical options. Video calls let you read facial cues and body language. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a break. Live chat or messaging can work for brief check-ins or when typing helps you express things more clearly. These formats aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to work into everyday life, while maintaining a consistent therapeutic relationship with registered or accredited professionals.
