About Michael
Michael Dwyer is a counsellor with 11 years of practice in the United Kingdom. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, loss and depression. He also supports those dealing with big life changes and compassion fatigue.
He works in a calm, non-judgemental way and aims to make the room feel straightforward and approachable. Sessions focus on what matters to each person and on practical steps they can try between meetings. Michael uses a mix of well known approaches to fit individual needs rather than one fixed method.
Many people come with sleep problems, anger or low self‑esteem, and he offers ways to manage those day to day. He also works with issues such as parenting strain, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and questions around identity including LGBT concerns. Additional areas he addresses include chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image and attachment concerns.
Michael draws on therapies that help with thoughts, feelings and behaviour so people can act on what they value. He aims to make sessions a place to talk things through, practise new skills and plan small changes. The goal is clearer decisions and steadier coping between sessions.
People who choose him can expect a respectful and steady presence, an emphasis on concrete tools, and a focus on what will help in daily life. He accepts clients from the UK and internationally and works in English.
How chosen approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that fit their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful habits. It can be useful for stress, sleeping problems and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and the plan can change as progress is made.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact formats available before booking because the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑ins when life feels hectic. It also lets people use skills in real time in their everyday environment and keeps the focus on practical tools for coping.
