Michael Green, BACP

Michael Green is a counsellor who focuses on practical, evidence-based help for people feeling overwhelmed. He is a Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often shown as BACP. Michael writes in a straightforward way and aims to make first steps easier for someone who is worried about reaching out.

He has seven years of professional experience supporting people with stress and anxiety. He also helps with relationship strain, trauma and abuse, anger, and low self-esteem. Sessions are paced to the client's needs and personal goals rather than pushing through a fixed plan.

Michael often works with individuals and with couples. He listens for patterns that keep causing pain, such as attachment wounds or problems with control, and then helps people try different ways of responding. He also addresses issues that sit alongside mental health, like chronic illness, caregiving strain, or money worries.

His approach is practical and collaborative. Conversations are used to clarify what matters now, test small changes, and build steadier coping habits. He encourages clear communication skills for tense relationships and ways to reduce constant anxiety or anger.

If someone is unsure about what to expect, Michael asks about immediate concerns and preferred pace before agreeing next steps. This helps people feel more in control of the process and decide whether to continue.

How practical therapeutic techniques can work online

Many common evidence-based techniques focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building coping skills. Cognitive approaches look at how thoughts influence feelings and behaviour and help people test new ways of thinking to reduce anxiety or low mood. Skills-based work teaches simple tools for managing anger, improving communication, and pacing activity when living with chronic illness.

Another useful strand is relational work that looks at attachment and how past losses or abandonment affect current relationships. This helps people notice repeated reactions, practice different responses, and improve closeness and trust over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their problems, goals, and preferences, and then suggest techniques to try together. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as needs change.

If you are considering online therapy, check the session options before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around caring responsibilities, long-term health needs, or work commitments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time while keeping continuity of care.
