About Michael
Michael Blown is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with a BACP credential and four years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and a range of other concerns. He offers conversation, practical coping strategies and therapeutic tools to help people move forward.
He believes clients are the experts in their own stories and builds on the strengths they already have. Sessions focus on what the client wants to change and on small, achievable steps.
How Michael works
Michael aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can be honest about difficult feelings. His work covers common issues such as trauma and abuse, grief and loss, anger and low self-esteem. He also supports people with ADHD, addictions, bipolar and mood disorders, and a wide range of anxiety presentations including panic and social anxiety.
Other areas he addresses include intimacy and relationship concerns, body image and career-related stress. Michael uses approaches that suit the person in front of him rather than a fixed formula. He draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people understand thoughts and behaviours.
Hypnotherapy is also offered as an additional option when it fits the client’s goals. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

How Michael’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in the room and what they want to work on. The therapist listens without judgement and helps people make sense of their feelings and choices, which can be useful for stress, low self-esteem and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers clear techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour and works well for anxiety, panic, depression and many daily worries.
Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to help people access different ways of thinking about a problem. It can be used alongside other approaches for issues like anxiety, habits and confidence concerns.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and suggest methods to try. This is a collaborative conversation and plans can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
Online therapy brings practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can suit people who prefer typing or need flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, study and family life while keeping the focus on meaningful, helpful work with a registered or accredited professional.
