About Michael

Michael Mourant is a counsellor who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression or difficult relationship and family issues. He offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through their concerns and start to make practical changes. Michael refers to himself as Mike in his work and brings a warm, down-to-earth manner to sessions.

He holds a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Background and approach

That background underpins a person-centred style that focuses on listening and working at the client’s pace. The therapist uses regular professional and peer supervision to reflect on his practice. In therapy with Michael the emphasis is on helping people find their own solutions.

Sessions tend to focus on what matters most to the client, whether that is managing anxiety, coping with grief, or addressing addiction or intimacy-related issues. He also supports people facing parenting strains and career or life changes. People who prefer a relaxed, empathetic approach may find his style helpful.

He works to create a calm space where clients can reflect and explore options without pressure. Practical steps and clearer thinking often follow from that kind of steady conversation. Michael practises in the United Kingdom and works in English.

He has four years of counselling experience and aims to help clients move towards greater self-understanding, improved coping and more satisfying day-to-day life.

Online support

Person-centred work and online options

Michael practises a person-centred approach that prioritises listening and emotional support. This way of working involves creating a steady, non-judgemental space where the client leads the conversation and explores feelings at their own pace. It is useful for issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain and parenting stresses.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with the client, and together they will shape sessions to suit what the client wants to achieve. Adjustments can be made over time as goals change or as new concerns arise.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a quieter setting and visual contact are helpful. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer typing, need brief updates, or want ongoing written reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and day-to-day life while keeping focus on progress and practical steps.
