About Mike
Mike Kelly is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and depression. He also helps people who are coping with life changes and the uncertainty that follows major transitions.
In sessions he focuses on practical conversation and steady support. He invites clients to talk through what feels most pressing and to identify small, manageable steps. He pays attention to how past attachments and current relationships affect day-to-day feelings. He also addresses issues like body image, guilt, shame and feelings of emptiness.
Mike works with workplace concerns and the strain that job changes or pressures can create. He can help people make sense of loneliness or isolation and think about ways to reconnect with what matters. He also talks with people about life purpose when that question is weighing on them.
When self-harm or strong self-criticism comes up, he approaches those topics directly and without judgement. He supports clients exploring self-love and building more supportive internal dialogues. His style is straightforward and focused on what will help in everyday life.
To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange a first session. The subscription model used for sessions can be cancelled at any time, and session cost varies with location.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Mike uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. One common approach focuses on practical problem-solving and skills for managing stress and anxiety, helping people identify triggers and try specific coping strategies. Another approach centres on relationships and attachment, looking at how early and current relationships shape expectations and patterns, and supporting changes in interaction and thinking.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before. That conversation helps decide which techniques to try and whether to adapt them as progress unfolds.
Session logistics should be checked before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Confirm current session options when you arrange an appointment. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a work break. It can also allow sessions without being on camera if that helps someone engage more comfortably.
