It's never lost, just harder to find'

Hi, My name is Michael and I am a clinically registered therapist in Australia. I have 4 years experience working as a psycho-social recovery counsellor. Prior to that I worked as a mental health support worker assisting people with ongoing and persistent life long psychiatric disabilities. My work online offers all of my experience and expertise in motivational interviewing, solution- focused, and person-centred therapies to name a few. Readiness for change is discussed while you consider real meaningful outcomes. You are not alone and therapy online is a wonderful step towards making change happen. Hope to speak to you soon about your first steps.

Warm regards

Michael

About online counseling

There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
