About Michael
Michael Broad is a counsellor and member of the National Counselling Society (NCPS) based in the United Kingdom. He has three years of professional experience and works in a way that matches each person's needs. He aims to help people through sharp moments of distress and the longer work that follows.
He often starts by helping to reduce immediate symptoms such as anxiety, overthinking or low mood. These early steps are practical and straightforward.
Background and approach
Once things are a little steadier, he and the client look at deeper patterns and feelings that might have shaped how they relate to themselves and others. Michael works with issues like stress, depression, anxiety, addiction and grief. He also supports people facing relationship difficulties, parenting strain, career worries and problems with self-esteem or anger.
His practice includes additional focus areas such as attachment difficulties, body image, caregiver stress and challenges linked to adoption and ageing. His approach draws on Existential ideas alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centred work and mindfulness. Sessions aim to help people clarify what matters to them and to use that clarity to guide practical change.
He emphasises personal responsibility and building on the strengths people already have. Michael sees the counselling relationship as a place to talk openly, test new ways of thinking and practise different responses. He invites people to take small steps toward more satisfying ways of living while working at a pace that suits them.

Online support
How Michael’s approaches work online
Existential work helps people look at meaning, choice and the challenges of everyday living. In practice this means talking about values, fears and what gives life purpose, which can suit people facing major changes or questions about direction.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward what matters. It uses simple exercises and clear actions to build a life guided by personal values rather than by avoidance.
Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the process. The counsellor will work together with the client to choose methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences. That plan can change as work progresses and new priorities emerge.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging to add flexibility. Video lets people see one another and use non-verbal cues, phone calls use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a break, and chat or messaging can support shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it simpler to keep therapy going around work, family duties and other commitments.
