About Michael
Michael Schmool is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and relationship problems. He works with family matters, parenting concerns, grief, trauma and intimacy-related issues. He also supports people dealing with anger, career questions and the strain of life changes.
He practises from a Person-Centred humanistic perspective. That means he listens closely and offers an accepting, non-judgemental space. Conversations focus on what matters to the client and on building greater self-understanding.
Background and approach
Michael is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. This means he follows the BACP ethical framework and practice guidelines. He brings four years of counselling experience to his work.
Before training as a counsellor he worked in advertising, media, publishing and photography across two continents. Those roles gave him lots of experience talking with people from many backgrounds and life situations. In sessions he aims to create a warm, calm environment where people can reflect and make sense of difficult feelings.
The focus is on understanding why someone feels the way they do and finding practical ways to move forward. Michael describes his style as kind, compassionate and easy going. He supports people who want to explore abandonment and attachment concerns, codependency, infidelity, communication problems, fatherhood issues, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.

How Michael works online
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques in practical use might include straightforward talking work and reflective listening that help with anxiety, depression and relationship problems. These approaches aim to increase insight and support calmer decision making when facing life changes or grief.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify what feels most helpful, adjusting methods to match goals and preferences over time.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins around work breaks and make it simpler to meet from different locations. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt their style to work effectively through remote appointments and will help find the best way of working for each person.
