About Michael
Michael Mourant is a person centred counsellor who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by family tensions, parenting strain, stress or anxiety. He introduces a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through what matters most to them and begin to find their own solutions. His approach is straightforward and supportive for parents and adults managing relationship and family concerns.
He works from a belief that people are the experts in their own lives and that change comes from understanding and choice. Sessions focus on listening, reflection and practical next steps rather than labels or prescriptions. That makes therapy a place to try out new ways of thinking and behaving in small, achievable steps.
Michael is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, or BACP, and he holds a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. He has four years' experience working with issues such as depression, ADHD, addictions, trauma, grief and intimacy-related concerns.
He also supports people coping with anger, low self-esteem, career challenges, compassion fatigue and life transitions. Additional areas he pays attention to include abandonment, commitment anxiety, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, and learning self-love.
Michael keeps his practice rigorous through regular professional and peer supervision. He encourages people who are ready to take the first step to use a short matching process to find out if his style will fit their needs.
Client-Centred Care and Online Support
Client-Centred Therapy, often called person centred, focuses on creating an accepting space where the client leads the conversation and the counsellor reflects and listens deeply. This approach helps when someone is sorting through relationship strain, family worries or feelings of low self-worth by emphasising the client's own insights and choices.He places emphasis on building a trusting working relationship and on simple, practical reflection. That style is useful for addressing stress, anxiety, grief and confusion about parenting or intimacy. The emphasis is on understanding and small steps rather than fixed solutions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify what feels most helpful and adjust the way sessions are run to match their needs, goals and preferences.
