About me

I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) in the United Kingdom. Former a Licensed Professional Counsellor, Texas. I have a Master's Degree in Psychology - Counselling, from the University of North Texas, Denton, Texas, USA. Former Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) Texas and California, USA. Per CACREP and the Texas State Board of Behaviour Health, post master's degree (post-qualification) required successfully passing the National Certified Counsellor exam (NCC) and completing 3,000+ hours of clinical supervision for licensing (minimum 1 hour of supervision per week). Note: I am not from Texas!

Therapy provides an opportunity to process, grow, and heal. My therapeutic approach is through the utilisation of Integrative Therapy. Integrative psychotherapy involves drawing upon more than one modality. With the blending of relevant theory (evidence-based) and interventions, an approach is formed to suit the needs of the client.

These therapeutic techniques and interventions include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, REBT, inner child, client-centred, Transgenerational, Gottman aka Sound Relationship House Theory, and others specifically catered to each individual, couple, or family.

The utilisation of various systems in assisting clients to build tools and strategies, such as emotional regulation work (thoughts and feelings); anxiety reducers; processing approaches; communication techniques; and help assist those in building healthier self-worth and a sense of empowerment.

Teletherapy:
I only do teletherapy via video, phone calls only when a therapeutic relationship is established - no therapy via messaging. I also need to know the basics of your case and your needs before agreeing to begin treatment, even if the algorithm matches us. This is to ensure I am a good clinical fit for you, and can responsibly and compassionately support you in therapy.

Lastly, BetterHelp (or speciality site) is not appropriate if you are in crisis or in immediate need of support. In crisis situations, please call 999 or local emergency (A & E) services.

Very happy with Michael

Written on Mar 03, 2024 after therapy with Michael for 2 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, anger management, and adhd

So far, he has been a very good amount of help to me, he understands my pain and knows how to address it in a way that is respectful to my journey as well as his methods as a therapist. I am unlocking new hidden emotions about my mental health journey and I owe that to the help he has provided.

Michael has done exceptionally well in being a listening and supportive therapist. Through conversation, he has the unique ability to invoke thought, get you and maintain you at a calm space. He has the great ability to read the room to possibly hear what hasn’t been said. He a great therapist.

Written on Dec 17, 2023 after therapy with Michael for 6 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, lgbt, trauma and abuse, grief, sleeping disorders, and self esteem

Michael has been fantastic throughout this process. Really good mix of allowing me to find solutions myself and steering me in the right direction. My MH is far far better now than when I started with Michael. I have full confidence in him.

Written on Nov 09, 2023 after therapy with Michael for 11 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, parenting issues, and self esteem

Michael is an extremely professional individual, he's not just there to listen, but to also understand, and explain, I've worked with him for a short while now and each time it's just surprising how well my experience goes, despite the difficulties of online therapy, he makes it work, I'm looking forward to working with him more.

Written on Oct 13, 2023 after therapy with Michael for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, self esteem, bipolar disorder, and adhd

Michael is straight forward. He gave me a great feeling of being understood from the beginning. Sometimes his questions are not very comfortable but necessary. Then these questions start chains of thoughts I could not think of before and help me to cope with situations. I appreciate the work we are doing together very much. 10/10
