About Michael
Michael Sivori is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 28 years of experience. He works mainly with grief and loss, self-care and compassion fatigue, and uses client-centred, existential and mindfulness approaches in his practice.
He describes his way of working as present-centred and client-centred. Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of him. Michael attends to feelings around loss, addiction, trauma, identity and cultural questions, and everyday stresses that affect work and family life.
Michael has a long background as a university teacher and trainer. He has taught many therapists and brings that experience into sessions by explaining therapeutic processes plainly. That background informs how he reflects with clients about what’s happening in therapy and what they might try between meetings.
His approach pays attention to the person’s experience in the moment. He uses mindfulness to help people notice patterns and to reduce overwhelm. Existential ideas are brought in to help people consider meaning, responsibility and choice when facing life changes.
Michael also works with practical problems such as communication, parenting strains, relationship difficulties and issues that arise from adoption, fatherhood or caring roles. He supports recovery from addiction and responds to trauma and abuse work with sensitivity.
People considering work with him are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How his approaches shape remote work
Michael uses client-centred work to prioritise the person’s concerns and experience in each session. That approach focuses on listening, reflection and following what the client brings, which can be useful for issues like grief, stress and relationship strain.He also draws on mindfulness practice to help people notice thoughts and bodily sensations, reduce reactivity and develop steady ways of coping with anxiety and burnout. Existential ideas are used to examine meaning, responsibility and choices during major life changes or feelings of emptiness.
Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Michael works collaboratively to match methods to a person’s goals, needs and preferences. He will discuss options and adjust the way he works as those needs evolve.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins during a workday and remove travel time. It can also let people access a therapist in a different region or country, which is helpful for international clients. Registered or accredited professionals can discuss practical arrangements and the best format when you schedule an initial session.
