He has 15 years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Michael focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety and depression.
He aims to make sessions straightforward and practical. People can expect calm, attentive listening followed by steps to manage symptoms. Michael often uses simple cognitive techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and tries mindfulness exercises to reduce tension.

He also supports people facing relationship strain, family issues, career uncertainty and major life changes. Additional areas of focus include attachment worries, commitment problems and feelings of emptiness.
Michael draws on an integrative approach and adapts what he does to each person. He treats the individual as the expert in their own story and aims to build on existing strengths. Sessions are collaborative and paced according to 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
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps identify patterns of thinking that make problems worse and teaches practical steps to change them. It is often used for anxiety, panic and depression through simple exercises and homework.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches straightforward attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and calm the mind. These techniques can support people dealing with stress, anger and intrusive thoughts.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is useful for a fuller face-to-face feel, phone sessions can fit around short breaks, live chat suits quick check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and access registered or accredited professionals from different locations.
