Michael Mourant

Michael Mourant is a person centred counsellor based near Falmouth in Cornwall, United Kingdom. He works with people who are feeling stuck, isolated or overwhelmed and helps them talk through stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. Michael offers a calm, non-judgmental space where people can reflect and begin to find their own solutions.

He is a BACP member, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and holds a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. Michael keeps his practice up to date through regular professional and peer supervision.

In sessions he focuses on listening deeply and following the client’s pace. That means less instruction and more space to make sense of thoughts and feelings, whether the issue is grief, addiction, ADHD-related struggles, or loneliness. He aims to help people name difficult emotions and try small, manageable changes.

Michael also supports people dealing with intimacy and commitment questions, guilt and shame, or the fallout from trauma and abuse. He uses the person centred approach to help clients build self-compassion and clearer next steps.

His style is straightforward and encouraging. He invites people to explore practical ways to cope with life changes, work pressures, parenting strain, and fatigue. If someone wants to begin, they can make initial contact and start the matching process to arrange sessions.

How person centred work adapts to online therapy

Michael uses the person centred approach to build a listening, non-judgemental space where people can make sense of difficult feelings. Person centred therapy focuses on empathy, acceptance and helping people find their own answers, which can be useful for issues like loneliness, relationship concerns and depression.

That approach means sessions often involve open conversation rather than homework-heavy programmes. The therapist listens, reflects back what he hears, and helps clients consider small changes that fit their life. This style can suit people who want to explore feelings, increase self-compassion, or work through past hurts at their own pace.

Finding the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with each person and help choose how to proceed. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.

Practical benefits of online therapy include making it easier to fit sessions around work, family and travel commitments. Online sessions can reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed.
