It's never lost, just harder to find'
Hi, My name is Michael and I am a clinically registered therapist in Australia. I have 4 years experience working as a psycho-social recovery counsellor. Prior to that I worked as a mental health support worker assisting people with ongoing and persistent life long psychiatric disabilities. My work online offers all of my experience and expertise in motivational interviewing, solution- focused, and person-centred therapies to name a few. Readiness for change is discussed while you consider real meaningful outcomes. You are not alone and therapy online is a wonderful step towards making change happen. Hope to speak to you soon about your first steps.
Warm regards
Michael

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
