Michael is a kind, patient and understanding therapist. I feel heard, seen, understood. He takes time to paraphrase what I say and allows me to elaborate my traumas at my pace. He offers me a safe place where to be myself. Highly recommended.

Hi my name is Mike. I'm a registered UK counsellor and previously worked for many years as a professional nurse where counselling skills were central to my care of my patients.
I have experience in helping people with a wide variety of problems including anxiety, depression, stress, social anxiety, relationships, self-confidence, health issues, trauma, abuse and bereavement.
I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our sessions to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
My approach to counselling is a person-centred one. Person-centred counselling is a humanistic approach which is led by you and puts you at the centre of the process. Given the right conditions in therapy, a person can reach their full potential and become their true self through a process of actualisation which is innate and accessible to everyone.
When you are attending counselling , I encourage you to bring your own issues to the session – the counselling is led by you and not directed by me. You are the best expert on yourself. Many clients, with no previous knowledge of counselling, believe that the counsellor will sort their problems out for them. However, as a person-centred counsellor, I will help you to explore your own issues, feelings, beliefs, behaviour, and worldview, so you can become more self-aware and achieve greater independence.
I am here to help you discover your own abilities and help you to realise what resources and support are available to you that you can use to work through your own issues, build your self-confidence and appreciate that you always have options.
I will treat you as the expert on yourself, as no-one else knows exactly what it’s like to be you. I will not judge you, no matter what you bring to the session. This helps build a trustworthy relationship in which you can feel free and supported to disclose whatever is troubling you. Eventually it will lead you to discover your own abilities and independence so that you can cope with current and future problems.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
