About Michael
Michael Blown is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. He holds BACP accreditation and has four years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma, grief and anger. He approaches sessions with a straightforward, respectful manner and aims to help people feel heard and understood.
He believes clients are the experts in their own stories and works from that starting point. Sessions focus on building practical skills and using the client’s strengths to manage difficult feelings.
Background and approach
That might include learning ways to reduce panic, practising new thinking patterns, or using guided relaxation techniques. Michael combines client-centred work with cognitive behavioural methods and hypnotherapy. Client-centred work creates a calm space to talk through worries.
Cognitive behavioural techniques help identify unhelpful thoughts and try out different responses. Hypnotherapy is used as a tool for relaxation and habit change when appropriate. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.
Michael supports people with a broad range of concerns including mood disorders, addictions, phobias and relationship difficulties. He also works with issues such as autism-related challenges, fatherhood and men’s matters. Therapy sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and the fee varies with location and therapist availability.

Approaches and online therapy options
Michael blends client-centred counselling, cognitive behavioural techniques and hypnotherapy into online work. Client-centred counselling means the conversation begins with listening and reflecting, helping people clarify what matters most to them and feel understood. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and trying practical exercises to change reactions to stress, panic or mood problems. Hypnotherapy is offered as a relaxation and habit-change tool that some people find helpful alongside talking therapies.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the person’s needs and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls work well for face-to-face dialogue and practising skills. Phone sessions can be easier when lower bandwidth or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection and people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel and daily life while keeping the focus on steady progress.
