More about Michael

  • 3 years' experience
  • Male
  • BACP

I firmly believe that counselling can be both restorative and transformative, allowing us to process difficult experiences with all the associated thoughts, feelings and learnt behaviours that result and explore our sense of self.

I specialise in working with a broad range of anxiety related conditions, such as obsessive compulsive; stress and burnout; challenges socialising or a difficulty building relationships; panic attacks; phobias; anger management; loss of purpose following retirement, redundancy or long term illness and occupational trauma. Often these are associated with low mood or depression and can be debilitating. I can also help with setting and achieving goals in many areas of your life including business, health and wellbeing, career, relationships, and work-life balance.

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.
