Qualified counselling with many years experience working in Radlett and online.
Feeling anxious, depressed, afraid, angry or just totally overwhelmed with what is going on in your life? For many of us problems can build up and affect how we feel about ourselves as well as impacting on our relationships and work performance.
Sleeping may be a struggle and we can feel unmotivated and irritable. Even physical symptoms such as headaches, nausea or feeling tired all the time can be a direct result of emotional issues. Counselling can help to improve many areas of your life.
It may be calling for the ten minute chat and arranging to meet for our first session or it may be by email depending on what feels most convenient and agreeable for you. The first meeting will give you the chance to tell me what it is that is going on in your life that is causing you the difficulties you are experiencing and struggling with. Anything you want to know about counselling and how it may help you can be asked during our first meeting. There is no obligation on you to continue with the counselling after this meeting.
Being an accredited member of BACP I strictly adhere to their very high standards and code of professional ethics. Confidentiality is of tremendous importance in counselling and I am absolutely committed ensuring this is maintained.
Normally I meet with clients once a week however this is flexible and is dependent on your individual needs. I will normally arrange our next appointment at the end of each session.
Sessions for individuals are 50 minutes and for couples 75 minutes.
My fees are £75 for individuals and £90 for couples, although I have a reduced charge of £60 for the first session for individuals and £75 for couples so you can see whether or not you feel counselling is for you.
I do reserve a number of sessions for low cost counselling and in certain circumstances I am happy to agree a reduced fee.
Payment for a session can be made by either cash or bank transfer.
The length of time we meet for is variable and will depend on your needs. Counselling can be of benefit to the person in just a few sessions or it can be for the longer term lasting a few months or years. We will review progress regularly as we proceed giving us both plenty of opportunity to explore how we are getting on. It will be entirely your choice as to how long you wish to stay in counselling for and there is no need to worry about ending the therapy. I will always be guided by you in this respect.

Counselling in Radlett, Herts
I will not give you advice but I will create a therapeutic relationship in which you as an individual or couple will find the capacity to use our relationship for your change, growth and personal development. You will have a greater understanding of yourself, your relationships and what you are experiencing.
I believe it is important to find someone you connect with, someone you find empathic and able to trust. As a member of BACP and UKCP, I adhere to strict guidelines and a set of standards which ensure a responsible code of conduct with you, the client.
"I have been working with Michael for several sessions. I find him easy to talk to and he understands. He has certainly helped me with my issues." - Gary
"Having been referred to Michael for counselling, I can say through our sessions together ,that I have been able to slowly teach myself how to cope with my low moods and lack of self esteem. In a pleasant environment I have been able to talk about my issues and identify how to adjust and learn how to behave in certain situations with other people, that before I would have found more difficult to interact with in a more understanding way. I hope to continue my sessions on a long term basis, to carry on learning and believing in myself." - Mr S
