Michael Mourant

Michael Mourant is a person centred counsellor who focuses on helping people manage anger and related difficulties. He creates a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk things through and work toward clearer choices. He presents himself in a direct, approachable way that aims to make a first contact feel easier for someone under stress.

He uses Person Centred Therapy, which means conversations are led by the client and guided by what matters most to them. Sessions are used to reflect on feelings such as anger, grief, shame or anxiety, and to explore practical ways forward that fit each person’s life. The emphasis is on listening, understanding and supporting each person to find their own solutions.

Michael holds a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He keeps his practice current through regular professional and peer supervision. This helps him reflect on his work and stay responsive to clients’ needs.

Common issues he helps with include stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family challenges, ADHD, addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy and sleeping difficulties. He also offers support around self-esteem, career changes, parenting strain and coping with life changes.

To start, people are asked to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How person centred work translates to online sessions

Person Centred Therapy puts the client’s experience at the heart of each session. The counsellor follows your lead, reflects what you say and offers unconditional acceptance so you can explore feelings like anger, shame or grief. This approach helps people who want space to make sense of strong emotions and find their own way forward.

That same Person Centred style works well remotely because the focus is on listening and understanding rather than on exercises or homework. Over time the counsellor and client decide together what feels helpful, so the approach is tailored to your goals and comfort. This is a collaborative process where the therapist helps you try different ways of working and checks in about what is most useful.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful because they fit more easily around work, childcare and travel. Remote work can make it quicker to have regular check-ins, reduce time spent travelling, and allow sessions to take place from familiar surroundings when that supports attendance and consistency.
