Counselling in Shrewsbury
Counselling is one way to give attention to aspects of our lives that trouble us. I concentrate on four areas of life. The first is when we feel bewildered, lost and disorientated. Second is when we see familiar, recurring patterns in ourselves. Third is the pleasures and difficulties of being with other people. Fourth is managing emotion and mood. Ways of thinking, reacting and managing distress vary widely as do practical circumstances. The need to find courage and energy can be tough. Check my website and see if what I offer could be useful to you.

Online and face-to-face. AuDHD. I offer a safe space where you identify any learnt messages and separate them from who you really are, not who you have become, by trying to conform and please the world and others. Through a Neuro-affirmative therapeutic lens, I support you in recognising and celebrating your differences while understanding the effect of social expectations and judgements on how you view those differences. You are the expert on you, but you may have just lost your voice. “The curious paradox is that when I accept myself, just as I am, then I can change.” - Carl Rogers

I understand how daunting it can be seeking counselling and finding a counsellor who you can trust and be honest and open with. I aim to provide a professional, safe, confidential and non judgmental space in which you will be able to explore recent and long standing personal issues and to gain a greater understanding of your unhappiness and distress and find a way to manage this. My main priority is to make this a positive experience for you, and for the changes to be long standing.

Hello, I'm Michael, a BACP-accredited therapist and counsellor offering face-to-face and remote sessions, by phone or video call.

I am an experienced clinical psychologist who has extensive experience in supporting clients with a range of difficulties that impact on their mental health and overall wellbeing. I believe we all deserve to live a life where we feel empowered and able to cope with what life throws at us. Life becomes more manageable if we have a clear sense of who we are, what is genuinely important to us, and in what direction we want to take our lives. Reaching an understanding of how our past impacts on us in the present is often a key first step in developing an understanding of our internal world and how this affects us day to day.

‘I’m fine thanks.’ Do you hear yourself saying that, even though you know you’re not fine and don’t feel fine? Maybe you’re struggling with anxiety, seeing repeated patterns in your behaviour or relationships that seem to be holding you back, still finding it hard to cope with a bereavement, or you’re going through another situation or loss in your life that feels difficult to navigate? I can help you to explore why you might be feeling like you are, at a pace that suits you and in a safe space where you can be yourself and don’t need to wear that mask of being ‘fine’.

Welcome! Clients I work with often struggle with not feeling good about themselves, problems with their different relationships, a need to always remain busy, overwhelming emotions or just not being able to find much happiness and pleasure from life. Sometimes the issue is clear for people but just as often, we can experience a sense of something being wrong and we just want it to change for us. As a counsellor and psychotherapist working in-person and online, I offer you the confidential space and empathic, professional support to explore and understand what's happening for you.

As a CBT therapist I specialise in the treatment of mood and anxiety difficulties for which CBT is the recommended approach. I work in a collaborative and goal-focused way during which you learn to recognise and express your feelings about events, describe and examine the thoughts taking place, and notice how these influence your behaviour.
I also practice EMDR for difficulties that have been caused by traumatic or adverse events. This approach helps a person identify and process difficult experiences in a safe space, leading to positive psychological and behavioural change.

Life can be tough, and most of the time we've done our best to navigate our way through it. Sometimes, though, we find ourselves struggling; we can't manage as well as we used to, and we could do with someone to talk to. If you are struggling, and are looking for support, I can offer you a regular safe space to help you explore your difficulties, and move towards a less stressful, anxious or overwhelming position in life. We will work together with curiosity; exploring who you are, who you were, and who you might want to be. Therapy is a great way to invest in yourself and realise the best version of you.

Historic experiences can impact our emotions and behaviours, often many years after the events. I’m here to provide a safe space to explore and make sense of what happened to you. We’ll work together to explore ways to manage the psychological and physiological effects of trauma, and develop your confidence to cope and overcome difficulties. I support people who have anxiety, depression, flashbacks and ptsd. It is important to me to understand what is important to you. I will support and empower you to live your life in accordance with your own values and beliefs, rather than the difficulties that have been getting in your way.
