Additional work includes supporting those facing the challenges of ageing and geriatric issues as well as people dealing with neurodiversity, attachment or intellectual disability related concerns.

How Mike's approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist offers a non-judgemental space where the client's perspective guides each session, which helps with relationship and self-esteem concerns.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It uses simple exercises and practical strategies to reduce low mood, anxiety and unhelpful patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy targets small changes and clear goals, aiming for progress in a few steps rather than lengthy exploration.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Mike will discuss options with each person and together they will pick methods that match the client's goals, pace and preferences. That planning is collaborative and reviewed as things change.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt tools and exercises to suit remote meetings, and the practical focus of CBT and solution-focused work maps well to online conversations.
