Michael Sivori, BACP

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening and meeting people where they are. Sessions focus on the person's own priorities and on building trust through empathic presence. It helps when someone needs to be heard and to make sense of difficult feelings.

Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and responsibility in a person's life. It can help people facing loss, major life changes, or questions about identity and purpose by encouraging honest reflection and personal values to guide decisions.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness skills to reduce reactivity and manage stress and anxiety. Practices may include short breathing or attention exercises that can be used between sessions to steady difficult moments.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Michael will talk with a client about their goals and preferences and together they will decide what feels most useful. He treats this as a collaborative process and reviews what is or isn’t helping as therapy progresses.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let conversations unfold almost like in-person work, while phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter updates, reflection between sessions, or when someone prefers to write rather than speak. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or travel commitments and to stay connected when regular face-to-face meetings are difficult.
