About Michael
Michael Dwyer is a BACP counsellor with 11 years of practice in the United Kingdom. He supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, loss and depression, and those facing significant life changes. His profile notes an interest in sleep and rest concerns alongside relationship and parenting stresses.
Michael keeps sessions straightforward and focused. He listens first, then helps people work out small, practical steps that fit into daily life. He draws on several well-known approaches to tailor sessions to each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.
In sessions he works with emotions, thoughts and behaviour together. That means talking through what matters now, trying brief exercises, and practising new ways to cope between meetings. He also attends to how early relationships and attachment patterns can shape present difficulties when that is relevant.
Michael has supported people through trauma, chronic illness and caregiver stress, and he also helps with anger, self-esteem and body image concerns. He works with issues such as abandonment, commitment problems and communication difficulties when these come up in a person’s story.
Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients. The site uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, so session booking is arranged through the platform's matching and scheduling process. Prospective clients should use the Start Therapy button to begin the short questionnaire and arrange a first appointment.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to notice unhelpful thoughts and to choose actions that reflect their values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, focuses on how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and uses practical tasks to reduce symptoms and build new routines.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences, and then suggest which methods to try first. People often adapt approaches during the course of therapy to reflect what is helping and what is not, so the process stays collaborative.
Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions around work and family life, removing travel time, and making it easier to keep regular check-ins. If you need clarity on which session formats are offered, confirm the current options before booking so you know what to expect. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to support the same kinds of work they do in person, while making it simpler to attend consistently.
