Fantastic Psychotherapy

Michael has provided fantastic psychotherapy over the last few weeks. I attended Michael for ADHD symptoms. We have built a great foundation over the sessions. I really enjoy the practical element of his sessions, it has helped rewire from longterm habits. His approach is subtle, so you don’t feel interrogated and analysed. The sessions feel like a chat but the results begin to show for themselves.

One of the things that separated Michael is he is constantly learning and studying his craft. This alongside his experience makes him exceptional at providing help because it’s never linear when it comes to mental health!

Thanks Michael
