Michael is the compassionate heart behind Becoming Yourself Counselling. A therapist with a deeply personal journey, Michael discovered his own neurodivergence later in life, transforming his lived experiences into the foundation of his therapeutic approach. Michael understands firsthand the power of self-compassion, self-acceptance, and embracing one’s authentic self, especially for neurodivergent individuals who often feel misunderstood or isolated. He has made it his mission to guide clients in finding their unique paths toward self-discovery and well-being. In both his writing and his practice, Michael combines a humanistic and strengths-based approach with a rich understanding of existential and mindfulness-based therapies. His work is not just about overcoming obstacles but about honouring each person’s journey, helping clients tap into their inner resilience, and fostering a sense of self. With warmth, insight, and a genuine commitment to growth, Michael welcomes individuals who seek to embrace their authentic selves and live with greater authenticity and acceptance..
