About Michael
Michael Schmool is a Person-Centred counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He brings a calm, compassionate presence and aims to help people understand why they feel the way they do. He speaks English and works remotely with clients in the United Kingdom and beyond.
He draws on life experience from careers in advertising, media, publishing and photography. Those roles exposed him to many different people and perspectives.
Background and approach
That background shapes a relaxed, down-to-earth approach in sessions. Sessions are a space to slow down and reflect. He offers a warm, non-judgemental atmosphere where people can talk through stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and relationship or family worries.
He also supports those coping with loss, trauma, parenting pressures, career questions and life changes. Michael focuses on helping people gain clearer self-understanding and find ways to move forward. Conversations centre on what matters to the client and on practical steps they want to try.
He aims to empower clients to make choices that feel right for them. He follows the ethical framework and practice guidelines of the BACP. With four years of counselling experience, he combines empathic listening with everyday language so people can feel heard and understood.
Michael welcomes enquiries from people wanting to explore change and healing.
Person-Centred support and online options
Michael works in a Person-Centred style that focuses on listening and understanding. Sessions involve open conversation where the client sets the pace and topics, which can help with anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship concerns.He combines that approach with practical problem-solving when needed, helping people clarify their priorities and try small changes. This can be useful for coping with life transitions, parenting stresses, career decisions or grief.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Michael will work with each person to choose how to proceed based on their goals, needs and preferences. He encourages honest feedback so the style of therapy can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into daily life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited, live chat provides a shorter check-in and messaging suits people who prefer writing between sessions. These options aim to make access flexible and practical for different schedules and needs.
