About Michael
Michael Broad is a counsellor in the United Kingdom and a member of the National Counselling Society (NCPS). He has three years of practice experience and works with issues such as stress, anxiety, depression and addictions. He helps people rebuild confidence and self-esteem and supports practical coping when life feels overwhelming.
He practises an integrative approach, combining methods to fit each person’s needs. Early on he focuses on practical steps to reduce distress, for example easing anxiety or overthinking. As trust grows, he moves into deeper exploration of difficult emotions and recurring relationship patterns.
Michael pays attention to how early experiences can shape later behaviour and relationships. The counselling relationship becomes a place to talk through those patterns and consider alternatives. He emphasises personal responsibility and self-determination while recognising that support can make change easier.
He also has experience supporting people affected by addiction and by caregiving stress. He works with issues such as grief, intimacy challenges, parenting concerns, anger and career questions. Additional focuses include adoption and foster care, attachment and body image.
Sessions aim to build resilience and practical skills alongside longer-term reflection. Michael uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Existential ideas and mindfulness techniques as part of his work. He conducts sessions in English and practises in the United Kingdom.

How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and patterns like avoidance. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the client brings, helping people feel heard and clarify their own goals. Existential Therapy explores meaning, responsibility and choices when life feels uncertain or stuck.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Michael will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest ways of working together. The choice is collaborative and can change as sessions continue.
The practical benefits of online work can include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel. Some formats need less bandwidth or camera use and can be easier to fit into a short break from home or work. The biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking to make sure they match your needs.
