About Michael

Michael Sivori practices from a client-centred perspective, bringing a calm, attentive stance to work with loss and grief, self-care, compassion fatigue and burnout, addiction recovery, trauma recovery, and identity and cultural concerns. He places present-centred awareness and mindfulness at the heart of his work, helping people to notice what is happening for them now and to develop practical ways of coping.

As a long-standing university teacher, he has trained many therapists and draws on that depth of experience to inform his clinical practice. That background has given him a wide-ranging understanding of therapeutic processes and a clear appreciation of the value of non-judgemental empathy.

He integrates contemporary practices into his approach and emphasises therapeutic presence as a key element - a steady, attuned way of being that supports trust and openness in sessions. He recognises each person as unique and works from the belief that clients carry untapped resources they can discover and use constructively in their lives.

Approaches and Online Support for Personal Change

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathic listening and unconditional regard, creating space for clients to explore feelings and make their own choices. It supports issues such as grief, relationship concerns, self-esteem, and identity questions. Existential Therapy invites reflection on meaning, values, and life choices, helping people navigate transitions, feelings of emptiness, and questions about purpose. Mindfulness Therapy cultivates present-moment awareness and practical techniques to reduce reactivity, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, compassion fatigue, and coping with difficult emotions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Michael collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the approach as therapy progresses so it remains relevant and helpful. Registered professionals and therapists often blend methods to match each person.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit support around work, family, and life commitments. These options increase accessibility for international clients and for people who prefer different formats for communication, while still allowing a consistent, ongoing therapeutic relationship.
