About me and my therapy practice
Hi, I'm Michael,
I offer person-centred counselling, and I aim to create a non-judgmental and therapeutic relationship within which you will feel safe enough to explore the issues you are facing and the stories you carry. I will treat you with respect, try to understand you and your experiences, and offer a genuine relationship.
I believe a counselling relationship is a unique opportunity, through reflection and time, together we can shine a light on your lived experience. I will offer reflections and challenges to go deeper to get to know who you are.
I have experience counselling grief, bereavement, loss, anxiety, depression, sexual health, anger, trauma, suicide, death anxiety, existential despair, relationship issues, money issues, alcohol addiction, drug addiction.
Practice description
I'm a qualified and registered Âé¶¹Ô´´ person-centred counsellor. I currently work face to face out of a charity called 'Sunflowers' in Aigburth Liverpool. This charity originally started specialising in cancer diagnosis and bereavement but has since been helping the wider community with counselling for many mental health issues.
This is an easily accessible (wheelchair-friendly) building with parking at the front.
I can also work on Slater Street in Liverpool city centre if that is more convenient for you.
I can work on the telephone or online too.
My first session
If you are curious to learn more about what therapy with me might be like, we can have a free 10-15-minute phone consultation. Reaching out can be a difficult step, but there is no commitment required on your part until you are happy that I am the right fit for you and you decide you want to work with me.
In our first session, we will talk about what has brought you to counselling, ask questions about how the process works and discuss any concerns you have. In the subsequent sessions the work you do will be about self-discovery and about finding solutions which are right for you, rather than me giving advice or being told what to do.
