About Michael
Michael Maroney works from a client-centred approach that keeps the person's experience at the heart of sessions. He offers a calm, non‑judgemental space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, relationship problems and issues around self‑esteem and motivation.
Michael has about 10 years of professional and life experience supporting people through addictions and grief. He also helps with concerns related to LGBTIQ+ identity, intimacy issues and career decisions. He believes people know a lot about their own lives, and he looks for strengths to build on.
Sessions aim to be practical and down to earth. Conversations focus on what feels most important now and on small changes that make day‑to‑day life easier. Michael uses listening and reflection to help people make clearer choices and to reduce unhelpful patterns of thinking or behaviour.
He combines client‑centred work with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and elements of the Gottman Method. That means sessions can include exploring thoughts and behaviours, and practising new ways of relating in close partnerships. The goal is to help people find clearer direction and regain a sense of agency.
Michael holds ACA as a credential in Australia. He works in English and does not accept international clients. To begin, people choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.
How Michael’s approaches work online
Client‑centred therapy focuses on listening, understanding and following what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs space to make sense of feelings and to find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviours interact and uses simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns that feed anxiety, low mood or compulsive behaviours. The Gottman Method offers practical ways to improve communication and manage conflict in close relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together they decide which methods suit the situation. That makes therapy a collaborative process rather than a one‑size‑fits‑all plan.
Session formats are not specified in the profile, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing easier scheduling during work breaks, and making it possible to join sessions from different locations. It can also let people use shorter check‑ins or audio‑only sessions when that better suits their needs. Appropriately qualified therapists will adapt techniques so practical tools and relationship work can be used effectively online.
