Hi, I’m Michael and I would like to offer you a very warm welcome to my practice.
I am a highly trained Person-Centred practitioner who is genuinely caring and understanding of what has brought you here to seek counselling. I am non-judgemental and open to acceptance of whatever it is you bring into the therapeutic space; this means I value you as a unique individual within your own right. Equality and diversity is at the forefront of my practice and you should expect to be treated in a respectful and dignified manner.
I understand that counselling can be a difficult journey, sometimes dark, challenging, and at times overwhelming. However, as your therapist, I will be at your side throughout the journey, no matter how bumpy or different twists there are in the road ahead. If you feel that you are ready or seeking the desire to overcome some of the barriers that are causing you to experience unwanted thoughts and feelings that are painful, then this is the first step into discovering that you have the capacity to alter your way of being.
As a fully trained, qualified counsellor who has experience of working with many different people over the course of 4 years of practice, I will be able to offer you a safe and supportive environment where you will be heard, respected and able to explore what is going on for you without feeling judged or worried of what you might say in counselling. Understandably, finding someone to talk to is not always an easy thing to do, let alone find someone who may be able to understand you and your situation.
The aim of my therapeutic practice will always be to help you understand, manage and be better equipped to deal with feelings, being able to name feelings more accurately and express them more freely. Ultimately, the aim of Person-Centred practice is to increase self-worth and autonomy to enable the individual to feel more fulfilled in life.
If this sounds like something you feel I could help you with, please feel free to get in touch to see how I can help to best support your needs.

About online counseling

- Convenient.

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.
