What people say about working with me

"Michael has been incredible in helping me understand who I am and helping me improve my mental health both in the short and long term, and I cannot thank him enough for his help."

​

"Michael is an extraordinary therapist combining a wealth of experience, expertise and knowledge with a very light touch. Working with Michael has been a transformative experience. He’s an incredible listener, always making me feel heard and understood without judgment. Through his guidance, I’ve learned how to become more mindful and present in my daily life. I wanted a therapist to try ACT approaches which Michael did but with a lightness of touch and a practical and flexible skill. Michael helped me tap into my emotions in a way I hadn't thought possible, giving me the tools to really feel and process my feelings. I now handle life and it's emotional challenges with greater clarity and calmness. I can’t recommend him enough."

"Michael is very understanding and has a wonderful gentle encouraging approach to his excellent teaching methods. I have had anxiety and panic for as long as I can remember. Michael has guided me to completely different perspectives in dealing with these feelings, which has been life changing. The actual techniques are simple but challenging so require dedication and practice to get the best from the work. I have thoroughly enjoyed my sessions with Michael, and practicing his teaching. He is a brilliant psychologist. The anxiety still comes and goes but I now know how to accept it rather than push it away so that it doesn’t escalate into full blown panic. This has freed me up to focus on the things in my life that make me feel happy. Who could ask for more?"

"I was referred to Michael for anxiety caused by a situation that seemed, in my view, too all-encompassing to be addressed through therapy. I felt like the world had turned upside down and I had lost all faith in humanity. My attitude was sceptical at first, but I noticed a significant shift in my mindset after only a few sessions. Through his patient, open-minded — and most importantly, compassionate — approach, Michael helped me regain my connections to other people. Beyond providing practical strategies for dealing with anxiety, he helped me reevaluate thought patterns that had built up over the decades. My year of therapy with Michael was life-changing. I wouldn’t hesitate to go back to him if necessary, or to recommend him to others."

"Michael was really patient in teaching me how to look at things differently, I now have some great tools should my anxiety come back. Michael took my singular thought practice of pending doom, breaking it down and rebuilding it. Now instead of hiding from my thoughts I  welcome them. I felt sorry for Michael as I wasn’t the easiest of clients and didn’t go quietly & questioned everything. But he patiently adjusted how I look at things and the more I realised he was right the more affable I became. Highly recommended and a genuinely nice person."

"Michael's therapy and mindfulness training has had a really positive impact on my wellbeing, and given me a completely new outlook on life! I had tried meditation to tackle stress and anxiety before, but it wasn't until receiving Michael's guidance that it really started working for me. After my series of 18 sessions, I feel like not only a happier person, but one who has acquired a well-stocked toolkit of techniques to draw on whenever I need."

"Michael helped me learn a number of new and interesting techniques to manage anxiety that I implement on a daily basis.

​

Michael is easy to talk to, genuinely passionate about his work and is a compassionate listener - could not recommend highly enough."

​

A.B.

​

"Michael is very easy to talk to and has a calming presence. He is a professional that I sought out and chose to work with given his extensive experience in the field and this was evident in sessions."

​

​

"Therapy has helped me confront deeper aspects of my life that I hadn't fully recognized at the start. It has revealed patterns and narratives that shape my sense of self, providing a clearer understanding of who I am. The most valuable takeaway from therapy, I believe, has been learning to treat myself with more compassion during difficult times and adopting regular mindfulness practices that allow me to see both myself and the world more clearly.

 

You were very kind, compassionate and understanding during sessions. I never thought you replied just to respond, but rather took everything in and actually heard what I was saying."

"Dr Michael was great and really allowed me to express myself and bring out the best in me. Gave me guidance and I felt heard. I am forever grateful and if a crisis hits again he would be my first contact! A huge thank you!!"
