About me
My name is Michael and I am a Therapist, Life Coach and a Mental Health and Inclusion Speaker.
My own lived experience informed my passion for supporting others to navigate life's challenges and improve their overall wellbeing.
Naturally, I can appreciate how difficult it can be to take that first step and ask for support so I would like to take this opportunity to provide you with some reassurance that I work in an empathetic and non-judgemental way and provide a safe, supportive and inclusive environment for you to open up and explore what has brought you to therapy at your own pace.
I work in an Integrative way meaning I believe that every client is unique and may therefore need different things from therapy. I have an openness to a variety of different therapies so that I am able to support you in a way which works best for you.
When working psycho-dynamically we explore psychological processes which may have developed in the past (often in childhood) and how these show up in the present day. Using the person-centred approach we look at the way you perceive yourself consciously, helping you to reach goals of your choosing and at your own pace. When using cognitive behavioural therapy we look at how your thoughts, beliefs and attitudes affect your feelings and behaviour.
I have worked with a range of different clients, businesses and charities with extensive experience working with bereavement, addiction, anxiety, depression and relationships as well as with the LGBTQIA+ community.
My work saw me nominated for a National Diversity Award in 2023 under the category of LGBT Role Model.

Additional information
Therapy is designed to offer you a safe and confidential space to explore your issues and concerns as well any thoughts, feelings and behaviours associated with them so that you can get a better understanding of yourself as well as others.
Initially, we would discuss your situation and goals for therapy as part of your consultation. This allows us to meet and for you to make a decision on as to whether you feel we are a good fit.
Should you wish to proceed, each session would be 50 minutes in length there after designed to address the issues raised in your consultation as well as anything else that may come up for you.
