“I was struggling with anxiety, self-esteem and confidence issues; they’ve always been present in my life but flared up when I started my first job. A close friend recommended Michael to me and suggested that I give him a call – and I’m so happy I did.
In the first hour alone, he helped me put my irrational thoughts into perspective. I’ve seen many therapists, but with Michael it felt like he was actually listening, not bored and asked all the right questions. He has a calm, endearing and non-judgemental approach, which made it a lot easier to open up to a stranger!
He encouraged me to evaluate deeply whether I was struggling with imposter syndrome, or just genuinely unhappy in my role. After only a few sessions, the techniques and analogies that Michael shared with me had a profound effect.
He helped me to make some tough decisions and organise my thoughts clearly. I now realise that I am capable and intelligent; I just needed a nudge towards following my true passions (and learn how to love myself).”
