Michael Aspden

Over the past 25+ years I’ve supported people through anxiety, grief, trauma, depression, relationship difficulties and more. Real progress happens when we feel safe with someone – that’s what I aim to create.

As a psychotherapist I provide a confidential space, welcoming and accessible to all. A space where you won’t be judged, but can breathe, talk freely and start to make positive changes in your life. A space where we’ll work together to turn things around - at a pace that feels right for you.

Working with individuals, I offer both brief and longer-term therapy, depending on your needs. I work with issues such as anxiety, bereavement, depression, anger management and relationship difficulties. I also work on boosting confidence and self-esteem. I find that working through experiences like loss, attachment and trauma can be key in helping people to move on.

Sessions are via online video or ‘phone – a flexible way to access therapy from the comfort of your own space. Subject to availability, sessions are tailored to fit your schedule and last 50 minutes (30 minute sessions can also be arranged – please contact me for details/cost).

I initially trained as a counsellor, then qualified as a psychotherapist. I’ve also undertaken post-qualifying trainings in couple therapy, clinical supervision, EMDR, CBT Skills, Solution Focused Brief therapy and Mindfulness. My approach is integrative and eclectic, drawing on various approaches to help meet your needs.
