About me

I am a BACP-registered therapist with 10 years of experience supporting people diagnosed with personality disorders, emotional regulation and interpersonal difficulties, anger management, and anxiety and depression. Counseling those who have experienced family-related issues, poor self-esteem, and physical, emotional, and sexual abuse has taught me the importance of active listening and compassionate empathy.

I have spent the past 3 years volunteering at The Listening Place charity, an organization focused on creating a safe and welcoming atmosphere for individuals with active suicidal thoughts. My time at TLP has allowed me to support many individuals who have suffered from intensely challenging negative thoughts, fears, and trauma.

The opportunity to sit with individuals who have endured extremely arduous and demanding experiences led me to pursue further training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy with The British Isles DBT National Training Team. Working as a therapist on the Mind-Reframed DBT team for over a year, I have gained valuable experience guiding clients who struggle with emotionally unstable personality disorder and/or emotional dysregulation. Along with a genuine concern for my clients, I enjoy helping those under my care to develop self-esteem, overcome despair, and restore hope.

Finally, for insurance purposes, I must include the following disclosure. My insurance is subject to English Law with the Exclusive Jurisdiction of the Courts of England and Wales and any claims must be filed in England.

Mike was excellent at listening when I was in a difficult and stressful part of my life. He guided me through different ways of thinking through scenarios and was responsive and genuine. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mike, and feel really thankful for the opportunity to work with him.

In my experience, Mike has been extremely organised and punctual in responding to any messages I've sent or appointments I've made. He approaches me as an equal, makes me feel listened to, and provides insight into problems I might have. His anecdotes, depth of understanding, and unique style reflect his experience. This is my first time interacting with Betterhelp and longer term counselling. But my expectations have been exceeded by Mike's care. I'd highly recommend him.
