About Michael
Michael Mourant offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, sleeplessness or relationship strain. He introduces himself simply as Mike and aims to help clients talk things through, reflect, and find practical ways forward. His manner is straightforward and steady, suited to someone looking for clear listening and gentle direction.
Mike is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and holds a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. He uses a person centred approach, which means sessions focus on the client’s experience and pace rather than a therapist-led agenda. That way people set the topics and the work follows what matters most to them.
In practice he helps with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, addictions, grief, sleep problems and parenting pressures. He also offers support around issues such as abandonment, commitment troubles, guilt and shame, loneliness and post-traumatic stress.
Mike keeps his clinical skills current through regular professional and peer supervision. Sessions aim to be a steadier space in a hectic life where people can notice patterns, try new ways of coping, and decide what changes they want to make.
He works from the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. If you are thinking about starting therapy, Mike encourages a first step of short reflection and then booking a session so you can see whether his way of working fits your needs.
How person centred therapy works online
Person centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping the client lead the conversation. In this approach the therapist aims to reflect what the client says, to help people notice their own thoughts and feelings and to decide what matters most to them. It is often used for anxiety, stress, relationship concerns and feelings of low mood.The therapist also places emphasis on creating a calm, accepting space for people who struggle with sleep or rest issues, grief, or difficulties with intimacy and self‑esteem. Sessions give room for reflection and pacing so clients can explore how everyday habits and worries affect sleep and wellbeing.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences with each person and agree a way forward together. That means trying different tools or pacing until a helpful fit emerges.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow a quieter check-in on a busy day. They can also offer practical flexibility such as shorter check-ins or skipping camera use when needed, depending on what the therapist offers.
