Rate Michael Shaughnessy

Michael is thoughtful and thorough. He does his best to accommodate his clients’ needs, and is joyful to work with.

Before Michael, I don’t think I ever had someone who truly saw me. He knew where I was upon his first time seeing me and piecing my words to my self-presentation. In less than five months he has supported me in becoming a much healthier, fully-realized version of myself. I can roll with change now, and I welcome it. I’m forever grateful that I met him when I did. He helped shift my life for the better.

Michael has been fantastic support for me in what have been truly difficult and sad times. He's been very cautious of my feelings, whilst still getting me to analyse things from different angles and I definitely feel much better in myself from talking with him. Would highly recommend!

I've been to a therapy a couple of years ago and changed 3 therapists. I never thought that one day I will find this app and start sessions with a professional like Michael. I've started working with Michael 4 months ago and I can only say that I've never dreamt of improving my life so much in this short period of time. Sessions with Michael are like a deep breath I needed after drowning for so long. We just met couple of times, I told him where my soul hurts and he immediately knew and advised me how to heal it. I've never in my life felt more understood. I strongly recommend him as a counselor. Not only he is a professional, understanding, and caring , he has a great sense of humor and always makes me laugh even when I feel like I'm in my lowest point. I enjoy sessions with him more than anything. Moreover, they are the highlight of my week. I am extremely grateful to BetterHelp for matching me with him.

Great guy, listens and is honest. A great man

I have anxiety about reviews and stuff like this so I never write them but I'll make an exception for Michael. I will make it short and sweet. Michael has been the most supportive person I have had to pleasure of encountering in my life. I had an experience with a therapist where I felt like I was talking to a robot and was afraid I'd never find someone that matches with myself, then I met Michael, he has changed my mind about counselling and is helping me become the person I've wanted to be for my entire life. Thank you Michael.

I had my first video session with Michael last week and was impressed at his way of communicating and it was clear he has a plethora of experience in helping a wide variety of people. He was humorous, also understanding and insightful.

Michael Shaughnessy is amazing. I was skeptical at first, but my skepticism was erased after our first session. He understands my situations and can explain them in ways that make sense to me. He knows exactly what to say and is very intuitive. I can even say I have a few laughs throughout our sessions. I always leave feeling like we had figured something out, and I always leave smiling.

I've started my sessions with Mr.Michael, exactly 4 weeks back. What I really feel now, is that: "I couldn't have been luckier" I had been suffering for over 20 years, continuously trying to seek help from different professionals in different places & with varied experiences; ...until that day came, when I thought I'd never find relief.... It wasn't more than 7 weeks later, when I registered in this app., & got matched with Mr. Michael.. Honestly speaking, I found that Mr.Michael, was able to mould, the summary of his 39 years of experience, & offer it, every time, in way that matches the specific shape & size of my different problem. He was supportive, in every way: An excellent listener, very patient, flexible & shares his own positive & negative experiences wherever relevant. He was also able to draw a smile on my face, & help me feel comfortable, in the most difficult situations & complex emotions. In that therapeutic process, with Mr.Michael, I also saw: Wisdom, combined with that sense of humor, & Experience, translated into its simplest meanings.. all those being combined together, & offered in a very safe space that he had managed to reserve for his client. Overall, I realized that everything I had read on Mr.Michael's profile, before starting therapy, was very accurate & probably even much better in reality; the most important for me being: ..his "tenacious spirit- not giving up on anyone" (as described in his profile), which, had been the cornerstone, of my continuation in the therapeutic process. Can't thank him enough...

Michael has been a great help to me! He understands what I am going through and makes me feel comfortable. He has been giving me great advice and makes me feel better.

I have only been working with michael for a short time now, and trust me when I say I am not the person who ever felt like there was much hope in my ever getting better. Even after this short time although we have a lot to work through, for the first time I feel like there is hope and that for me is a massive achievement. Couldn’t recommend michael enough!
