Michael helps me to find my own way through any issues by guiding me gently in conversation and allowing me to work through things at my own pace. He is a great listener and I'm comfortable enough to speak unguarded.

Nice guy, he listens a lot and makes you think about your responses, reasoning behind it and helps you better understand why you originally thought about it, what it could mean and how to move on.

- BACP
I'm Mike - a fully qualified, BACP registered therapist, based in the UK. I provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space in which you can explore your thoughts and feelings, allowing you to understand more about yourself and your relationships with others. As an integrative counsellor, I work with a variety of therapeutic approaches and methods, and combine them to suit the needs of each individual client.
I work with a wide range of clients with a variety of presenting issues, such as anxiety, depression, bereavement, family conflict, and relationship issues. As an LGBTQIA+ affirmative therapist, I also work with many LGBTQIA+ clients, some of whom come to therapy to explore issues relating to sexuality and gender.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
