About Michael
Michael Mourant is a counsellor who focuses on helping people feel steadier and more able to cope. He works with common struggles such as stress, anxiety, depression and relationship worries. He aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can reflect and find ways forward.
Michael is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, or BACP, and holds a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. He uses a person centred approach, which means the client’s perspective guides the pace and direction of the work. Sessions are shaped around what matters most to the person attending.
In practice he supports people with family conflict, parenting strain, intimacy concerns, and issues linked to grief, trauma and addiction. He also helps with self-esteem, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, and practical life changes such as career transitions. He lists attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, sleeping problems and compassion fatigue among his common areas of work.
He carries out regular professional and peer supervision as part of his ongoing practice. That helps him reflect on his work and stay attentive to clients’ needs. Michael writes and speaks plainly in sessions and aims to help clients find their own solutions rather than impose them.
Taking the first step can feel difficult. Michael offers an empathetic and steady presence for people wanting to make changes and move towards clearer goals.
How Michael uses person centred work online
Person centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the client’s lead. In practice this means the counsellor aims to respond to how someone speaks about their feelings, reflect what they hear, and help the person find their own answers. This approach can help with issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship strain and feelings of emptiness.Finding the right way of working is a shared endeavour. Michael will talk with each person about their goals and what they hope to change. Together they decide how to shape sessions and what to try next, so the approach stays matched to the person’s needs and preferences.
The profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when those are helpful. It can also make it simpler to maintain continuity of care during life changes, while the therapist and client work together to shape a practical plan that fits everyday life.
