How Mike works
The goal is to help people find small steps that make a real difference in day-to-day life. Mike draws on client-centred methods to keep conversations centred on what matters most to each person. He also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and to try new behaviours.
Solution-focused techniques help build short-term plans and practical goals that fit into a busy life. He has worked with people facing depression, anger and intimacy-related concerns. He also supports those dealing with career uncertainty, family problems, divorce and separation, and issues around commitment or communication.
Additional areas of interest include ageing and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, attachment issues and codependency. Sessions are offered in English and delivered remotely by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Mike explains how the service subscription works and how to schedule sessions when someone chooses to start therapy.

How Mike's Approaches Work Online
Mike uses client-centred therapy to keep sessions focused on what matters most to the person. That approach means the counsellor listens carefully and follows the client's lead, helping people clarify values and priorities. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical changes in thinking and behaviour to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Mike treats this as a collaborative process and will help clients decide which combination of methods fits their goals and preferences. He checks in about what feels useful and adapts plans as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video calls work well for fuller conversations and visual cues, phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit quick check-ins, and text messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work and family commitments and to keep momentum between meetings.
