About Michael
Michael Dwyer is a BACP-registered counsellor working in the United Kingdom with 11 years of professional experience. He helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, loss and depression. He also supports those facing major life changes and people coping with compassion fatigue and relationship difficulties.
Michael uses clear, straightforward conversation to help people name and understand strong feelings. He often focuses on how past attachment patterns affect present reactions. Sessions aim to make emotional experience easier to recognise and talk through.
His background includes work with trauma and abuse, sleep problems, parenting strain and anger. He also sees people concerned about self-esteem, body image and issues such as abandonment or dependent personality traits. Michael has experience supporting those affected by chronic illness, cancer and caregiver stress.
The therapeutic approaches he draws on include Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. He uses these methods to offer practical ways of managing distress, not to guarantee specific outcomes.
Michael offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and are arranged through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How his approaches work for online therapy
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centres on identifying and working with difficult emotions and attachment-related patterns. It helps people give words to how they feel and to change long-standing emotional responses that cause distress.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It uses values-based actions to help people handle painful experiences while building a meaningful life.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and connections. This approach can help people understand why certain situations trigger strong responses and learn different ways of relating.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help clients decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may change as therapy progresses.
