About Michael
Michael Blown is a UK-based counsellor and hypnotherapist with four years' experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and trauma, and supports those coping with grief, anger and difficult life changes. He works from a belief that each person knows their own story and has strengths to build on.
Taking the first step can feel hard, and he offers steady support through that process. He uses practical, straightforward methods in sessions.
Background and approach
Conversations are centred on what matters most to the person sitting in front of him. He listens first, then helps clients notice patterns and try different ways of responding. Sessions often include goal-setting and simple exercises to practise between meetings.
Michael draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help with anxious thoughts and unhelpful behaviours. He also offers client-centred work that focuses on understanding a person’s experience without judgement. Hypnotherapy is another approach he uses to support relaxation and habit change when appropriate.
People tend to come for symptoms such as panic, low mood, relationship strain, compulsive behaviours or difficulty managing anger. He also supports those navigating identity questions, career stress, or the impact of trauma. The aim is to help people feel more in control and able to make changes that matter.
Sessions are offered in English and are available online by video, phone, chat or messaging. Michael is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Online approaches for anxiety and stress
Michael blends client-centred counselling with cognitive behavioural techniques and hypnotherapy to address anxiety and related concerns. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding, helping people feel heard and respected so they can explore what matters most. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful patterns. Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to support habit change and reduce stress when that approach is suitable.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michael will collaborate with each person to agree which methods to try, based on their goals and preferences. That process can involve trying short experiments in session and reviewing what helps most, so therapy feels tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online sessions are available by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a lunch break. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins, brief exercises or ongoing written reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and fit therapy around work, study or family life.
