Person centred counsellor offering calm listening
About Michael
Michael Mourant works with people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure where to turn. He offers a calm, non-judgemental space for someone to talk through stresses, relationship worries, low mood, or problems linked to addiction and trauma. He introduces himself simply as Mike and writes in a direct, approachable way.
He uses Person Centred Therapy, also called Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening and responding to what the person brings.
Background and approach
Sessions are built around the client’s pace and priorities rather than a fixed agenda. He aims to help people reflect, gain clarity and find practical steps that fit their life. Michael holds a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
He has four years’ experience working with a range of concerns including anxiety, stress, depression, ADHD, grief and intimacy-related issues. He also supports people dealing with family conflict, parenting strain, career challenges and compassion fatigue. In his practice Michael pays attention to feelings such as abandonment, guilt, shame and emptiness.
He also works with people facing commitment fears, loneliness, post-traumatic stress and self-esteem struggles. Regular professional and peer supervision form part of his practice to maintain effective work. Sessions are offered in English and are conducted online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.
Michael encourages a gentle, collaborative pace so each person can explore what matters most to them and try out new ways of coping.

How client-centred work translates to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and following the person’s lead. In practise this means the therapist offers careful listening, reflects what is said, and helps people explore feelings and choices. It is useful for anxiety, depression, relationship concerns and self-esteem issues.The approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to choose ways of working that suit their goals and comfort. Finding the right approach is part of the therapy, and adjustments are made as needs and priorities become clearer.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat and text messaging to suit different rhythms of life. Video calls let someone see facial expression and body language, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, and messaging or live chat can fit short check-ins or fit around work breaks. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
