Background and approach
He helps people name feelings, notice patterns, and find small ways to change daily coping. The goal is often greater self-worth and a clearer sense of direction. Over four years he has worked with a wide range of issues including panic attacks, social anxiety, post-traumatic stress and seasonal affective disorder.
He also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care histories, dissociation, emptiness, guilt and shame. His practice attends to LGBT concerns and young adult issues as well. Michael is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
He offers sessions from the United Kingdom and conducts work in English. International clients are not currently accepted. Sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging.
Fees vary by location and the service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and books according to the therapist's schedule.
How Client-Centred and Existential work online can help
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard and understood. The therapist offers empathic listening and gentle reflection to help people identify feelings and make their own choices. This approach is often useful for anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship or identity questions.Existential Therapy looks at life choices, meaning and personal responsibility. It helps when someone feels stuck, empty or uncertain about direction. Through open conversation it supports people to clarify values and decide what matters to them moving forward.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michael will talk with clients about what feels most helpful and adapt methods to suit their needs and goals. This is a collaborative process where the therapist and client decide together how to proceed.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people speak face to face from different locations. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options aim to make access simpler and to fit therapy around everyday life.
