About Michael

Psychotherapist, BACP, 5 years' experience. Michael Meaney works with stress, anxiety, self-esteem, career questions, coping with life changes, coaching, relationship issues and grief. He practises one-to-one therapy informed by his long background as a facilitator and coach.

Michael draws on over 20 years of experience running one-to-one and group work as a facilitator and coach alongside five years as a psychotherapist. In sessions he treats the person as the expert in their own story and looks for strengths to build on. He aims for clear, practical conversations that address what is getting in the way day to day.

Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful patterns and trying different ways of responding. Michael uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that suit the client’s goals and circumstances. He works with people who want help with motivation, confidence, career decisions and handling transitions in life.

His style leans toward practical coaching within a therapeutic setting. Clients can expect structured conversation, goal-oriented tasks and space to reflect on progress between meetings. He frames work as a collaboration where the client’s experience guides the plan.

Michael practises in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. He accepts international clients. To begin, readers are invited to use the site’s matching steps to schedule a first appointment.

Sheet 2

How Michael uses evidence-based techniques in remote work

Michael describes his practice as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are applied in a practical way. Cognitive approaches focus on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence, which can reduce anxiety and improve decision-making. Behavioural techniques involve trying small changes and reviewing the effects, useful for building confidence and solving career or motivation problems.

He blends these methods with coaching-style conversations that set clear goals and tasks between sessions. Finding the right mix is part of the work; Michael will collaborate with each person to agree which approaches fit their needs, goals and preferences.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family commitments, reduce travel time and allow short check-ins when a full in-person meeting is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and goal setting to remote meetings so the work continues in a practical, everyday way.
