About Me

Level 5 Advanced Counsellor in Psychotherapeutic Training — Worcester

I’m Michael, a Level 5 Advanced Counsellor in Psychotherapeutic Training and a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP).

I provide in-person counselling in Worcester (WR2), offering a warm, understanding, and confidential space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at your own pace.

At WeAreCounselling, I support adults, young people and families who want to make sense of their experiences, work through challenges, and move towards greater balance and self-understanding.

How I Work

As an integrative counsellor, I draw on a range of approaches — including person-centred, psychodynamic, and attachment-based models — to tailor our sessions to your individual needs.

Counselling with me is collaborative: we explore your emotions, thoughts, and patterns together, helping you develop greater understanding, resilience, and self-compassion.

Areas I Can Help With

I offer counselling support for a range of emotional and relational challenges, including:

• Anxiety and stress
  
  

• Trauma and post-traumatic experiences
  
  

• Grief, loss and bereavement
  
  

• Relationship and family difficulties
  
  

• Low self-esteem and self-worth
  
  

• Depression and low mood
  
  

• Life transitions and identity issues
  
  

My Counselling Ethos

I believe therapy offers more than relief from distress — it’s an opportunity to rediscover your sense of connection, confidence, and possibility.

Clients often tell me they value my calm, grounded, and compassionate approach, which helps them feel safe to talk openly and make meaningful change at their own pace.
