I never really knew if I needed therapy but I started my sessions with Michael a month after returning home from war and one day before my father died. He helped me unpack the loss and adjust back to civilian life. Specifically he helped me with techniques to deal with anger. I was always suspicious of the incentives of psychiatrists but I was happy to find that once I felt that I was back on track he helped me cut down on sessions and eventually allowing me to continue with my life on my own. Thank you Michael!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Safe and understandable
I had a very good experience with Michael as therapist. He was able to reflect on my situation, ask questions that triggered self-reflection, provide tools and information for self learning and provide views on my situation that helped to better understand myself and change future behavior.
Michael is professional, friendly and very helpful!
Excellent listener
Michael is very intelligent, professional and helpful when it comes to our sessions. He's a great listener and always has good advice, and he even checks in when I don't book sessions for a while. I definitely recommend working with him!
Micheal ,I met him when I was in very sad and vulnerable place .He was able to give me Christian - bible based counseling which helped me to seek God more and heal truly .I'm greatful to have met Micheal and I recommend him to everyone who seeks Christian based counseling.Most days we usually ends our session with a prayer which was the best a Christian girl can take it from therapy.thankyou lord ,thankyou Micheal .Thank you better help !
He was been very patient and attentive to my emotions and the possible causes for them. He has made an effort to make sure that I am as comfortable as possible and feel heard out.
I feel like he has a keen understanding of how to actually help and experience and insight as well.
Michael helped me lots to tackle a range of topics. I'm about to enter my middle-age years and felt quite lost trying to navigate aspects of my life such as childhood trauma and how it shaped me as an adult, and subsequently questioned a lot of what happened in my adult years up to this point. Naturally, to tackle the process alone and uneducated was quite overwhelming and I felt a little bit lost by myself, but Michael was able to accurately evaluate my situation and rapidly jump-start my journey forward using techniques compatible with online therapy. I would like to thank Michael for helping me "navigate the forest of emotions, experiences and traumas" especially all the valuable resources to assist in my path to healing and growth.
Calm, thoughtful and gives me plenty of space and time to think.
It's been very easy to talk with Michael. I feel heard and understood. I feel positive we are taking the right steps to help my current mental state.
