About Michael

Michael Boulton welcomes people into a respectful, non-judgemental therapeutic space and approaches each person as an individual with their own story and strengths. He practises with a warm, empathic stance and places equality and diversity at the centre of his work, so clients can expect to be met with dignity and acceptance. Michael recognises that seeking counselling can feel daunting and that the process may include difficult or overwhelming moments; he commits to accompanying people through those times and supporting them as they work through barriers to move toward change.

Across four years of practice he has developed a Person-Centred approach that focuses on helping individuals name and process emotions, build self-worth, and increase autonomy in daily life. His aim is to create a supportive environment where people are listened to without judgement and can explore whatever brings them to therapy. Michael encourages clients to discover their own capacity for change and to develop clearer ways of understanding and managing their feelings.

If someone feels ready to explore these issues with him, Michael invites them to get in touch to discuss how he might best support their needs. He holds the BACP credential, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Client-Centred and Existential Approaches for Online Care

Client-Centred Therapy, as practised by Michael, emphasises empathy, acceptance, and listening so that clients can explore feelings at their own pace and build self-worth. This approach is often helpful for people struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, or difficulties in relationships because it centres the client as the expert on their own experience. Existential Therapy invites reflection on meaning, choice, and personal responsibility; it supports people facing feelings of emptiness, questions about identity, or life transitions by exploring values and the ways they want to live.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Michael treats this as a collaborative process. He will work with each person to identify which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and may draw on elements from both approaches to tailor the work.

Online therapy with Michael is delivered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexible options to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats can make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and fit therapy around work or other commitments while working with a registered professional and therapist who is focused on practical, person-focused progress.
