More about Michael

  • 6 years' experience

Hi there. I'm Mike Ross, a humanistic, trauma informed, therapeutic counsellor and logotherapist.

I use empathic, reflective practices to help my clients understand their experience of trauma and develop lasting resilience.

If you're looking for support with your mental health and personal development then maybe I can help.

I've been a qualified therapeutic counsellor and member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) for 6 years.

In that time I've supported many clients, many of whom were either creative industries professionals or students in higher education studying to earn BA or MA qualifications in creative fields of study.

I have particular experience in supporting those who suffer with -

Substance dependence (such as alcohol, cocaine, prescription medication)

Struggles with neurodivergence (ie. ADHD, Autism, AuDHD)

Creative struggles (writers block, imposter syndrome, option paralysis, task initiation etc.)

Anxiety & depression

Trauma, attachment issues & grief

intrusive or suicidal thoughts & suicidal ideation

compulsive behaviours such as gambling, sex & shopping

I'm also a trained and experienced Specialist Mentor (SM-MH/ASC) with experience supporting higher education learners in receipt of Disabled Students Allowance (DSA) who are neurodiverse and/or suffer from mental health conditions such as generalised or acute anxiety disorder etc.

I can provide DSA application assistance and work as a private mentor for those who aren't eligible for DSA support or who are waiting for assessments.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
