About Michael
Michael Sivori is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 28 years of experience. He works with a broad range of concerns, including grief, addiction recovery, stress, anxiety and anger, and supports people facing life changes and compassion fatigue.
He has a long background as a university teacher and has trained many therapists. That teaching experience informs how he talks about therapeutic work and how he explains what happens in sessions.
Michael describes his practice as client-centred and mindful. In sessions he focuses on being present and listening without judgement. He helps people notice what they already carry inside them and how those resources can be used in everyday life.
He uses contemporary practices alongside client-centred listening. That means practical, present-focused ways of working alongside open conversation about values, meaning and daily choices. This approach is often used with grief, burnout, trauma recovery and relationship concerns.
People come to him for help with identity and cultural issues, parenting strains, family problems and communication difficulties. He also supports those coping with cancer, caregiver stress, first responder pressures and issues around adoption and attachment.
Sessions aim to make difficult topics clearer and more manageable. Michael helps people set small, realistic steps and notice changes over time. The initial contact begins with a short questionnaire to match needs and schedule a first session.
How his approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The therapist follows the client’s lead and helps them make sense of feelings such as anger, grief or stress. This approach is useful when someone needs a steady, accepting listener and time to work through emotions.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple, present-focused practices. These practices help reduce reactivity, notice physical signs of rising anger and develop calmer responses. Mindfulness can also support coping with burnout, anxiety and ongoing stress.
Working out which approach fits best is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, and then decide together what to try first. That collaborative planning may change as sessions progress.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a workday, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can make regular contact simpler while keeping the focus on practical steps and mindful techniques that carry into everyday life.
