Michael Blown , BACP

Michael Blown is licensed in the United Kingdom as a counsellor and hypnotherapist and holds membership with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. With four years of clinical practice, he works with people facing stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, anger management, and those affected by domestic abuse.

He approaches each person with the view that they are the expert on their own story and that they already possess strengths that can support change. Michael combines practical therapeutic skills with a respectful, nonjudgmental stance to help clients explore challenges, build coping strategies, and pursue a more fulfilling life.

Recognizing that reaching out for help takes courage, he aims to offer consistent support throughout the process. His background in counselling and hypnotherapy enables him to tailor interventions to individual needs while encouraging clients to draw on their own resources and resilience.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Michael Blown draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and hypnotherapy to support change. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and creating a respectful space where a person can explore their feelings and goals at their own pace - it is often helpful for improving self-esteem and working through relationship or life transition issues. CBT is a structured approach that identifies unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and works to develop practical skills for managing anxiety, mood difficulties, and stress. Hypnotherapy uses focused relaxation and guided attention to help people access inner resources and address patterns such as habit change or managing intense emotional responses.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Michael will work with each person to consider their needs, goals, and preferences and adapt methods so therapy feels relevant and effective for them. The therapist-client relationship guides how techniques are selected and combined.

Online therapy offers flexible access to this work through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue care even when meeting in person is difficult, allowing licensed professionals to provide consistent support across different communication styles.
