Michal Mizinski, NCPS

Michal works in an integrative way, combining several evidence-based techniques to meet individual needs. One common method focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns to reduce anxiety and low mood; this involves practising new ways of thinking and testing small changes between sessions. Another approach looks at past relationships and life events to understand how they shape current reactions and choices; this helps when trauma, family of origin issues or identity concerns are part of the picture.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaboration. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, then suggest techniques that seem likely to help. You can try an approach for a few sessions and adjust the plan if it does not feel helpful.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging for flexibility. Video calls let you work face to face from different locations. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging work well for shorter check-ins, written reflection and practical prompts between talks. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
