About Michael
Michael Sivori is a counsellor who follows a client-centred way of working and has 28 years of experience. He focuses on loss and grief, compassion fatigue and burnout, addiction recovery and trauma recovery. He also pays attention to identity and cultural issues and supports men’s wellbeing among other concerns.
He uses a calm, non-judgemental manner in sessions and aims to be present and attentive. That presence helps people feel heard and understood. He believes every person brings inner resources that can be put to use during therapy.
Michael has long experience as a university teacher and has helped train many therapists. That background gives him a detailed sense of therapeutic processes and practical clinical skills. He mixes contemporary practices with a person-focused stance rather than following a single rigid method.
Sessions generally focus on what feels most immediately important. He helps people talk through grief, stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, addiction concerns, and problems with self-esteem and identity. He offers straightforward, plainspoken guidance alongside listening and reflection.
People who appreciate a thoughtful, steady presence often find this approach useful. Work in therapy can include practising mindfulness, discussing life choices, and finding small ways to reduce burnout. International clients may be accepted; confirm session options when arranging a booking.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy places attention on the person's experience and aims to create a warm, listening environment. It helps when someone needs to be heard, feel validated, and explore personal resources. Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and responsibility in life and can help when people face big changes or feel stuck in uncertainty. Mindfulness Therapy offers simple practices to notice thoughts and bodily tension, which can ease stress and improve day-to-day coping.Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, needs and preferences and then shape sessions collaboratively. That discussion guides whether more reflective existential work, practical mindfulness exercises, or client-centred listening becomes the focus.
The biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can also let someone continue with therapy while living in a different country, provided international arrangements are agreed in advance.
