I had a very good experience with Michael as therapist. He was able to reflect on my situation, ask questions that triggered self-reflection, provide tools and information for self learning and provide views on my situation that helped to better understand myself and change future behavior.

He was been very patient and attentive to my emotions and the possible causes for them. He has made an effort to make sure that I am as comfortable as possible and feel heard out.

Michael helped me lots to tackle a range of topics. I'm about to enter my middle-age years and felt quite lost trying to navigate aspects of my life such as childhood trauma and how it shaped me as an adult, and subsequently questioned a lot of what happened in my adult years up to this point. Naturally, to tackle the process alone and uneducated was quite overwhelming and I felt a little bit lost by myself, but Michael was able to accurately evaluate my situation and rapidly jump-start my journey forward using techniques compatible with online therapy. I would like to thank Michael for helping me "navigate the forest of emotions, experiences and traumas" especially all the valuable resources to assist in my path to healing and growth.
