About Michael
Michael Broad is a counsellor in the United Kingdom and a member of the National Counselling Society (NCPS). He has three years of experience and works in a tailored, integrative way that responds to each person’s needs. He aims to help people manage stress, anxiety and depression and to rebuild confidence when they feel low or doubtful.
Michael believes early experiences shape how people relate to themselves and others. He uses the counselling relationship to look at those patterns and to support change.
Background and approach
At first he focuses on practical steps to reduce immediate distress, such as techniques to ease anxiety or cut down on overthinking. Once the immediate pressures ease, he moves to deeper work. This can include talking through difficult feelings, exploring where certain behaviours started, and understanding relationship patterns.
He also has experience supporting people with addiction and with living a sober, more organised life. Michael stresses personal responsibility and self-determination. He helps people notice and build their existing strengths.
Together they develop resilience and clearer ways to face current challenges. Signing up for therapy is often a big step. He aims to make the process straightforward and supportive so people can take practical action and also do the deeper reflective work that matters.

How Michael works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michael will talk with the person about their goals and preferences and together they will decide what to try first. The plan can be reviewed and adjusted as progress is made, so therapy stays relevant to real life concerns.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or other routines and can reduce travel time. It also allows for shorter check-ins when needed, and for keeping appointments even when schedules are tight. Registered or accredited professionals can use online ways of meeting to help people access therapy without changing the core therapeutic work.
