I’m currently having a very wonderful experience with Michael, who is an exceptional listener and creates a warm, easy-going atmosphere. His empathy and professionalism make every session feel safe and supportive, even when I’m navigating difficult topics. I particularly appreciate our discussions on parallelisms, as they help me understand myself better. Michael is instrumental in my ongoing journey of self-discovery.

- BACP
I am a Person-Centred (humanistic) Counsellor, and registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and means I work within their ethical framework and practice guidelines.
I am a kind, compassionate and easy going person. I have lived a very varied life over two continents where my working careers in advertising, media, publishing and photography have brought me into contact with people from all walks of life.
Thank you for taking that first step in finding me here. We all face times in our lives’ when we just need some space to be still and reflect, a space where we feel accepted, understood, and supported in gaining a deeper awareness into why we feel the way we do and how we can develop a greater understanding of self and how to move forward in a more positive way. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety depression, low self-esteem and family issues.
I look forward to offering you a safe, comfortable, non-judgemental and warm place in which to reflect on any challenging life situations that you may be facing right now.
It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change, I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

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.

Michael is a fantastic therapist and highly recommended, he has the right blend of allowing lighter and more off topic conversation and a great skill and making it all relevant and bringing it back to the task at hand. 10/10 would recommend
