About Michael
Michael Mourant is a person centred counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years' experience in therapeutic work. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, depression, and a range of other concerns including guilt and shame.
Michael uses a person centred approach, which means conversations focus on the person rather than labels. Sessions are conversational and paced to the client's needs, so people can talk through what feels most pressing. He aims to help people reflect on choices, feelings and next steps rather than telling them what to do.
He regularly meets with professional and peer supervision to review his work and keep developing his practice. That helps him stay attentive to the client and the process rather than relying on fixed solutions. The counselling relationship is used to look at patterns, understand emotional responses, and clarify values and priorities.
Michael has worked with a range of issues beyond the core concerns, including ADHD, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related problems, sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem and career questions. He also lists additional focus areas such as abandonment, commitment issues, emptiness, forgiveness, isolation and self-love.
People considering sessions are invited to think about the particular issues they want to address. Michael's style suits people who prefer reflective conversation and a steady, person-led pace for working through guilt, shame or related difficulties.
Person centred practice and online sessions
Person centred counselling focuses on helping the person feel heard and understood. The counsellor follows the client's lead, listens carefully, and reflects what they hear back. This way of working can help with feelings of guilt and shame by giving space to sort through emotions and personal values.That approach places the client's experience at the centre of therapy. The counsellor supports exploration of difficult feelings rather than directing solutions. Over several sessions the pair decide together which ways of working feel most helpful and adjust the approach if needed.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Many people find remote sessions helpful because they can fit a counselling hour into a busy day, avoid travel, or choose a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. Others prefer longer conversations when they have more time. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements and agree what format suits each person's needs and circumstances.
