Hello my name is Michael and welcome to my Partners in Thought profile. Psychotherapy is an excellent, evidence and knowledge-based method to help people understand and respond to some of the difficulties that may be causing them distress. Therapy often involves helping those who might feel lost, overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, over-reactive or isolated in some way.
I specialise in working with people who have suffered harmful childhood experiences. I welcome those who may be struggling in their relationships. I hold a particular interest in addictive, obsessive and impulsive behaviours, and those who often feel overcome by intense emotions and issues relating to identity.
Together, in a confidential, trusting and independent setting we will work together to promote recovery and strengthen your mental health which will enhance your overall quality of life. Please refer to my website for further information.

Alongside formal qualifications I have helped many people struggling with addiction/dependence (not only to substances) including the provision of psychotherapy services in drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities. I have an intricate understanding of personality 'disorders', trauma and especially complex-PTSD and the pain and confusion these can cause the individual and those close to them.
