About Michael
Michael Mourant offers calm, straightforward support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strains. He introduces a person-centred way of working that focuses on listening and helping people find their own solutions. Michael is based in the United Kingdom and has practical counselling experience built over four years.
He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, or BACP, and holds a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling.
How Michael works
That background informs a gentle, non-judgemental style in sessions. Michael emphasises creating a relaxed space where clients can talk honestly and be heard. In practice he helps with a wide range of concerns including family tensions, parenting pressures, grief, trauma and addictions.
He also supports people dealing with ADHD, sleep issues, anger, self-esteem and career change. Additional focus areas include abandonment, commitment issues, guilt and shame, isolation and post-traumatic stress. Sessions tend to centre on the client’s experience and priorities rather than a fixed plan.
Michael listens, reflects and helps people work through emotions to arrive at decisions that feel right for them. He takes part in regular professional and peer supervision to maintain good practice. Starting therapy can feel daunting.
Michael aims to make that first step simpler by providing a steady and respectful space to talk. He works collaboratively to help people move toward clearer thinking and healthier patterns in everyday life.

Online support options
Person-centred support online and how it helps
Person Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the client's experience. The therapist offers empathic, non-judgemental attention and helps people uncover their own solutions, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood, relationship stresses and self-esteem issues.Michael's approach creates space to reflect on strong emotions such as grief, guilt or shame and on difficult life events like trauma or major change. That kind of work can help clarify what matters most and lead to small, manageable steps forward rather than immediate fixes.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process and is worked out together. The therapist will ask about needs, goals and preferences and adapt sessions accordingly. This collaboration helps ensure the style and pace suit the person who attends.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy lives. Video calls let you read facial cues and body language, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a shorter break. Live chat and text messaging allow for brief check-ins, ongoing reflection and flexibility around work or family commitments. Registered or accredited professionals provide these formats to increase accessibility and choice.
