About Me

Hi I’m Michael and Onelifetime is my online practice where I provide a relationship coaching service through a blended therapeutic approach of talking therapies and Life coaching.

My coaching style is based on over 20 years of experience gained through working with children, adolescents and adults within both The Health & Social Care and Education environments in the capacity Senior and Management roles. 

I have been using a blended therapy approach for over 7 years and helped my clients to identify and clarify the ways in which to move forward with their presented issues.
Client Feedback
From our conversation Michael made me feel so at ease and comfortable. He was very friendly and funny but still always so professional. 

This made me feel like I could discuss anything with him. 

After just a few sessions i was able to move past a situation in my life and start healthy habits. I would recommend to anyone.

My clients have found me to be open and non-judgemental creating a safe, caring environment. I respect that each person is an individual and as such have their own perspectives and interpretation of issues and situations. in which they understand that
 

From this my clients feel enabled to freely explore and express their feelings and speak without reservations about how they feel which helps them to look at the possible underlying reasons to their presenting issue.
 
It has been established that throughout childhood and adulthood we form whether consciously or subconsciously strategies to cope and manage with issues that present themselves throughout our lives. Part of this is development is managing interactions and relationships.      

However these self-learnt coping techniques can sometimes be flawed and can involve a lot of internalised feelings which can unfortunately create an unjustified false negative perception which in turn can lead to low expectations, avoidance and self-blame and effect the relationship that you are in or how you allow people to treat you.  
Client Feedback
Michael has a very calming, gentle manner. He inspired confidence and trust at my first session. I feel confident disclosing to him my anxieties and deep sense of guilt and sadness that I live through every day.

He is patient and able to bring clarity to these issues which often seem insoluble. Michael has encouraged me to examine my situation honestly and to accept it .

By making me feel more aware of the control I have over my issues, I am beginning to trust and respect my own judgement and accept the consequences of my actions.

To summarize I help my clients firstly to verbalize how they feel where they are currently in their relationship
.
Then through a stepped approach help them able to process their thoughts to facilitate the changes of basically "Where they are now, to Where they want to be" in their relationship.
