Michael Mourant

I am taking on new clients right now, so feel free to send me an email, call, or text to find out available times.

I work on Mondays and Fridays in my counselling space, from 9:30 AM. 

I can do online and phone sessions outside of these hours - if you would prefer to work this way, or are not based in my area, get in touch, and we'll work out a day and time which works for us both.

My particular training is in Person Centred Therapy, and I am well experienced in establishing a safe space, free of judgement, in which I can help you to heal, reflect on any issues, and work to find your own solutions. 

Rather than being an ‘expert’, directing and leading you, or passively and silently following your narrative, offering no support, as a person centred therapist I will remain ‘alongside’ you – present, empathic, and equal, helping you to discover your own answers.

I have regular professional and peer supervision, to help me to be at my best as a therapist.

I can offer several different styles of therapy session, depending on what suits you best.

Face-to-face

A session in person, located in a quiet, confidential therapeutic space. People who prefer this style value that it offers the most privacy, and the least distraction from the process of therapy.

Walking therapy

Becoming increasingly popular, this type of counselling takes place in the open air. Meeting at an agreed space, we would have a session whilst taking a stroll at your pace, enjoying the benefits that nature can bring to the therapeutic process.

Working online

If working with me in person isn’t possible for you, or otherwise doesn’t suit your needs, then I am trained and experienced in working remotely via video call, and happy to have online session.

My preferred route is with doxy.me, a free browser-based system with no downloads. Easy to use, confidential and secure, I find that it works really well. If you are interested in online sessions, give it a look.

Telephone sessions

If you find that any of the above are not for you, I am also comfortable with sessions via phone as well. Just as confidential as video sessions, with the added bonus of maximum flexibility for you, working this way could be a good fit.

Whichever type of session suits you, I will always try to ensure that it is as confidential, supportive and therapeutic as possible, and ask that you treat your own time with the respect and care that you deserve.

Our first session will be free of charge, and more of an introduction, rather than a full session - getting to know each other, learning about how I practice, talking through any questions, and generally to see if we will be a good fit to work well together. 

If you do decide you would like to work with me, I will ask you to fill in a short assessment form, which can be done in person, or you may choose to do it online and email it to me. This is just to help me gain a more rounded idea of where you are, and your needs.

From there, we would start to create a mutual working agreement - this is a flexible contract, which would be based on both your needs and goals, as well as our respective boundaries. This can change and be altered as we work together.

After that, we would meet for our first fully paid session, and begin the therapeutic process.
