About Michael
Michael Mourant is a BACP counsellor with four years' experience working in the United Kingdom. He is a person-centred therapist who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationships, family conflict, depression, ADHD, addictions and anger. Sessions are conducted in English and are aimed at adults seeking practical ways to handle strong feelings and difficult situations.
Michael uses person-centred, or client-centred, counselling to create a straightforward space where clients can talk through what matters to them. He focuses on listening and reflecting so people can find their own solutions. He also brings attention to related concerns such as grief, intimacy issues, sleep problems and self-esteem.
His training includes a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He keeps his work under regular professional and peer supervision to maintain good clinical practice. That supervision supports how he responds to issues such as post-traumatic stress, compassion fatigue and addiction recovery.
In sessions he aims to help people notice patterns - for example how anger shows up at work or in close relationships - and to try practical steps to change those patterns. He can talk through issues like abandonment, commitment worries, guilt and shame, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
For someone who wants straightforward, conversational counselling that focuses on their experience, Michael offers a calm way to examine what causes tension and what might reduce it. He asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session to begin the work.
Client-centred work and online counselling
Person-centred counselling places the client at the centre of the session. The therapist listens closely, reflects what they hear and helps the client make sense of their experience. This approach suits people who want to talk through feelings like anger, grief or anxiety and to discover practical ways to respond.Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a non-directive stance where the counsellor follows your lead. That can help with relationship strain, commitment worries and feelings of emptiness by supporting you to name patterns and try new responses. The method is conversational rather than prescriptive, so the focus is on what matters most to you.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michael will work together with you to decide what fits your needs, goals and preferences. That might mean focusing on immediate coping strategies for strong emotions, or spending time on deeper issues such as shame, abandonment or trauma responses.
The biography does not list specific formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, require less travel, and allow shorter check-ins when you need them. Registered professionals and therapists often use these benefits to help clients maintain continuity of care while they manage work, family and everyday life.
