Michael Green, BACP

Michael Green is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often shown as BACP. He introduces himself in a calm, straightforward way and aims to make the first step easier for people who feel unsure about asking for help.

He has seven years of professional experience. During that time he has supported people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, anger and low self-esteem. He also helps with issues such as attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, caregiving strain, chronic illness and pain, communication and control problems, and problems tied to separation and divorce.

Sessions focus on the person's goals and pace. Michael explains things plainly and works collaboratively to set realistic steps. He also offers support around guilt, shame, impulsivity, isolation, purpose, money worries and mood shifts.

The approach is practical and down-to-earth. Michael aims to help people notice patterns, practise different ways of responding, and build small changes that add up. He encourages open discussion about what is working and what needs to change.

He works in English and practises in the United Kingdom. If someone is thinking about starting, the next step is to follow the booking route and complete the short matching questionnaire so session times can be arranged.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online counselling

Michael works using evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasise practical steps and clear goals. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful patterns and experimenting with new ways of responding, useful for anxiety, anger and relationship problems. Another approach emphasises talking through past experiences that affect current feelings and behaviours, which can help with trauma, attachment and abandonment issues.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Michael will talk with a person about their needs, goals and preferences and then suggest an approach to try. It is normal to adjust the approach over time as progress and preferences become clearer.

If you are thinking about online therapy, please confirm the session formats available before booking. Many people find remote sessions fit into a busy life more easily, for example allowing shorter check-ins during a break or avoiding travel time. Online work can make it simpler to access regular support and to practice skills between sessions, helping therapy fit around everyday commitments.
