About Michael
Michael Harland is a counsellor who helps people facing worry about money alongside many common life stresses. He works with people feeling anxious, low, overwhelmed by relationship or family tensions, or struggling with addictive patterns. He also supports those dealing with grief, parenting strain, workplace pressure and identity issues such as LGBT concerns. Michael holds BACP accreditation which appears after his name as BACP.
He prefers a depth-oriented way of working that looks beyond thoughts to the feelings underneath. That means conversations aim to uncover emotions that may be driving behaviour. He also uses mindfulness methods to help people notice and sit with feelings more calmly. Sessions are a space to notice patterns from the past that repeat in the present and to try new ways of responding.
Michael has five years' experience in counselling work. He is clear about limits to depth work and will suggest alternatives when someone is currently in severe crisis or has experienced non-drug-induced psychosis. In such situations he recommends approaches that focus on stabilisation and strengthening coping skills.
He is based in the United Kingdom and offers therapy in English. His background includes work with a wide range of concerns from anxiety and depression to ADHD, trauma, eating and sleeping issues, and compassion fatigue. He accepts international clients.
If money and financial worries are part of what feels hard right now, Michael can help untangle the feelings that sit beneath those pressures and support practical next steps.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Depth-oriented work aims to name and feel the emotions beneath everyday thinking. This approach encourages looking at patterns that repeat from earlier relationships and noticing how those patterns appear now. It can help with long-standing difficulties such as attachment issues, abandonment, or repeating relationship problems.Mindfulness Therapy helps people become aware of their thoughts and bodily sensations without getting swept away by them. It is often used alongside depth work to give people simple, practical ways to steady themselves when strong emotions arise.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and try methods that fit the issue and the person's comfort. Together they check what helps and adjust the focus as work progresses.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online therapy useful because it can make it easier to schedule appointments around work or family life, avoid travel, or use shorter check-ins when time is limited. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor sessions to practical needs while focusing on the emotional themes that matter most.
