About Mike
Mike Kelly is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and depression. He also helps those dealing with major life changes and the everyday weight they can bring.
Clients can expect a calm, straightforward space to share what feels difficult. He aims to keep conversations non-judgemental and clear.
Background and approach
The first contact is treated as a positive step and the focus is on practical next steps rather than overwhelming theory. Mike pays attention to how past attachments and family patterns shape current feelings. He often works on things like body image, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, and problems that spill over into the workplace.
Sessions also address loneliness, a search for life purpose, and difficulties linked to narcissistic dynamics. When self-harm or intense emotional pain appears, he focuses on keeping conversations grounded and on immediate coping strategies. He encourages developing self-compassion and ways to reconnect with daily life.
Progress is paced to what each person can manage. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions to fit their situation. Cancellation and subscription details are handled through the service used to book, and can be adjusted as needed.

How Mike works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they choose a way of working and adjust it as progress is made, keeping changes practical and manageable.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and support regular check-ins. It can also allow shorter catch-ups when days are hectic, or sessions that focus on practical tasks and homework between meetings.
