Michael Mourant, BACP

Michael Mourant is a person-centred counselling therapist practising near Falmouth in Cornwall, United Kingdom. He works from a framework that prioritises the client - creating a calm, non-judgemental space where people can reflect, process difficult feelings, and explore solutions that arise from their own experience.

Michael is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), a recognised professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK, and holds a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, a formal vocational qualification in counselling practice. He combines this training with regular professional and peer supervision to maintain good practice and clinical development.

Across his work Michael has supported people dealing with stress and anxiety, relationship and family conflicts, and depression. He also works with issues such as ADHD, addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy and parenting concerns, as well as challenges linked to self-esteem, guilt and shame, and life transitions. He aims to help clients move closer to the lives they want by offering steady, empathetic support and space for personal discovery.

Michael understands that taking the first step into therapy takes courage and is committed to helping people pursue greater well-being, resilience, and fulfilment at a pace that suits them.

Client-Centered Care and Online Therapeutic Support

Client-Centered Therapy, sometimes called person-centred counselling, focuses on creating a respectful, non-directive space where the therapist offers empathy, acceptance, and genuine attention so the client can explore their feelings and make their own changes. This approach is well suited to issues like anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and challenges with self-esteem because it emphasises understanding and personal agency.

In practice Michael uses person-centred principles to listen deeply and mirror what clients bring, helping them to clarify values, process grief or trauma, and work through relationship and life transitions. The therapist acts as a collaborative partner rather than an authority, supporting each person to discover the steps that feel right for them.

Online therapy with a registered professional offers practical flexibility - sessions can be arranged by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit around work, family, or mobility needs. These options make it easier to access consistent support from home or elsewhere, and allow the therapist and client to shape a rhythm and format of contact that suits the client’s goals and preferences.
