I am currently taking on new online clients

Finding the right counsellor can be quite daunting. It's such an important relationship where we want to feel safe in being our authentic selves.

I'm Michael, and I am a fully qualified counsellor based near Birmingham and I am a member of the Â鶹ԭ´´.

We all have times when we struggle to cope with where we are in life and need a safe place to talk about our issues and concerns. You may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, depressed and struggling to cope.

I provide a calm, confidential, safe, non-judgemental space for you to share your thoughts and feelings and make the life changes that are right for you.

My key aim is to work alongside you – to understand you and enable you to harness your own strengths and experience to move forward and make changes in your life. I strongly believe that we are at our best when we live our lives to our own values, rather than the values imposed on us by others.

As an integrative counsellor, I draw on a range of different counselling approaches (modalities), and I can tailor how we work together according to your specific needs. My approach allows you to lead in respect of what you want to talk about, as you explore what's troubling you and put into practice the life changes that are right for you.

I currently see clients online, e.g. via Zoom.

I offer a free 20-30 minute introductory session. In that session we can discuss what brings you to counselling and see if we're a good fit to take our work forward together.

Our first counselling session then enables us to complete an assessment and contract, and embark on the counselling work.
