How Michael’s approaches work online

Michael blends Systemic Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in ways that translate well to online work. Systemic Therapy looks at patterns between people and daily routines to spot what keeps problems going, which helps when identifying practical changes to try at home. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current bonds affect emotion and closeness, and it helps people learn new ways to connect and self-soothe.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Michael will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods in session and adjust as needed. The process is collaborative and paced to what each person can handle.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper exchanges, phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or lower bandwidth needs, live chat works for shorter focused conversations, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to continue momentum even when schedules change.
