The Institute for Counselling & Psychotherapy Studies Arvostelua 

I have attended my first session on the compassionate mindfulness and resilience course and I am very impressed so far. The course content and materials are very beneficial and in depth. The course is easy to follow and the lecturer is lovely and very passionate about his teaching and content. I am looking forward to the remainder of the course and would encourage others to sign up!

I’ve just started the CMR course and my first impressions are very positive. The sign-up process was straightforward, and I received clear instructions to access the platform. The mix of written and visual content makes the learning more engaging. The staff are hands on, they are at reach when I have any queries. I’m feeling confident about the journey ahead and look forward to progressing through the rest of the course.

I participated in the CMR Compassionate Mindful Resilience Course . I thoroughly enjoyed the evening. The course material was very interesting and our lecturer Michael was excellent and explained everything in detail to us. I am really looking forward to the remainder of the course.

I have been seeing Michael for the past two years and I feel genuinely supported and heard. He creates a safe, non-judgmental space where I can explore my thoughts
and emotions. His calm presence and thoughtful guidance has helped me better understand myself and make positive changes in my life.

I highly recommend Dr Michael as both a supervisor and psychotherapist. As a clinical supervisee, I’ve found him to be insightful, ethical, and consistently supportive. His guidance has deepened my clinical practice and built my confidence. He brings warmth, clarity, and professionalism to every session, creating a safe and reflective space. I feel very fortunate to work with him (Caroline Crotty)

Michael helped me navigate some hard times and asked questions that I never really considered or likely avoided. Very easy to open up to and was always willing to make himself available at short notice.

Michael has provided fantastic psychotherapy over the last few weeks. I attended Michael for ADHD symptoms. We have built a great foundation over the sessions. I really enjoy the practical element of his sessions, it has helped rewire from longterm habits. His approach is subtle, so you don’t feel interrogated and analysed. The sessions feel like a chat but the results begin to show for themselves.
One of the things that separated Michael is he is constantly learning and studying his craft. This alongside his experience makes him exceptional at providing help because it’s never linear when it comes to mental health!
Thanks Michael

Can't recommend Michael enough! He has helped me through so many hard times. Very easy to open up to. He creates a safe comfortable space.

I visited Michael for the first time in 2021 as a very stressed , broken , anxious person who was very close to Rock
bottom . Through Michael's expertise, empathy , professionalism and complete dedication I managed to get back to a much better place and was able to return to work , thank you Michael . Marie

Cheap, affordable, great therapy!

Great insight offered..would highly recommend

Highly recommend Michael

Seen Michael for nearly 3 years and he helped me through some really difficult times. Always made me feel understood and able to face the challenges ahead of me.

Very well studied and can draw from a wide range of techniques.

Can't say enough about how much Michael helped me through difficult times

I've been seeing Michael for a long time and he has helped me through some tough times with excellent results! He is open, honest and his remote sessions are excellent. He understands and gets to root issues and helps deal with them effectively and sensitively. An excellent professional!

I personally found my experience with state of mind psychotherapy was very helpful in helping me understand how to deal with my emotions and gave me the "mental toolkit" as I call it. I felt very welcomed and comfortable to share my life experiences. I have been attending the last 2 years.
