About Michael

Michael Blown is a counsellor and hypnotherapist working in the United Kingdom. He brings four years of practice to sessions and follows an approach that treats each person as the expert on their own life. He aims to provide steady support while people take the first steps toward feeling better.

He focuses on common difficulties such as stress, anxiety, depression and mood disorders. He also helps people dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and issues linked to addiction and self-esteem.

Background and approach

There is experience supporting people with neurodiversity concerns including autism and Asperger syndrome, and with concerns like panic, phobias and social anxiety. Michael uses client-centred ways of working that prioritise what each person wants to address. He also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help spot unhelpful thinking and test new ways of coping.

Hypnotherapy is available as another option when people want a different route to change. Sessions aim to be practical and straightforward. Conversations focus on what is most troubling right now and on small, workable steps forward.

Michael aims to create a calm, non-judgemental atmosphere where people can try things at their own pace. He works online with video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Sessions are delivered in English and follow registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

How these approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on building a trusting conversation where the client's concerns set the agenda. It helps people who need a listening space to clarify their thoughts and decide what matters most to them.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps identify patterns of thought and behaviour that maintain distress. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to test new ways of thinking and coping, which can help with anxiety, low mood and panic symptoms.

Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to access different ways of working with habits, confidence and emotional responses. It can be offered alongside other methods when clients want an alternative route to change.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy rather than a fixed choice at the start. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to the client's goals, needs and preferences and may adapt techniques as work progresses.

Online sessions using video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video lets people keep face-to-face contact, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier. These formats allow flexible scheduling and reduce travel time while keeping the focus on practical progress.
