Michael Broad , NCPS

Michael Broad is a qualified counsellor based in the United Kingdom and holds NCPS, indicating membership of the National Counselling Society. He practices an integrative style, adapting therapeutic methods to suit the specific needs of each person he works with. With three years of clinical experience, he has supported people through stress, anxiety, depression and addiction, helping them rebuild confidence, strengthen self-esteem and reduce patterns of overthinking.

He recognises how early life experiences can influence the ways people relate to themselves and others, and he views the therapeutic relationship as a space to explore those dynamics and enable change. In the early stages of work he focuses on practical strategies to relieve distressing symptoms such as anxiety, and later he helps clients examine difficult emotions, relational patterns and their origins. He also brings experience supporting clients who wish to live sober and increase daily functioning. Grounded in a belief in responsibility and self-determination, he helps people identify existing strengths, develop resilience and work toward a more purposeful and satisfying life. He acknowledges the courage involved in seeking help and approaches each person with respect and clarity.

Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Support

Michael Broad draws on evidence-informed approaches to help clients navigate difficult feelings and life transitions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT encourages people to clarify what matters most to them and to take committed actions toward those values while learning to relate differently to painful thoughts and emotions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the client leads the pace of change and the therapist offers empathy and acceptance. Mindfulness Therapy teaches moment-to-moment awareness skills that can reduce reactivity to stress and support emotional regulation across a range of concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Michael works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. He tailors interventions and adjusts the focus as progress unfolds, honoring each person’s values and autonomy.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone conversations, live chat or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules and circumstances. These formats make it easier for people to access consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists without the need for travel, helping therapy fit into everyday life.
