About Michael Sivori

Michael Sivori is a client-centred therapist with deep experience supporting people through loss, grief and the practical demands of self-care. He specialises in compassion fatigue and burnout, addiction recovery, trauma recovery, and identity and cultural concerns, and he blends mindfulness and present-focused practices to help clients engage with change and healing.

As a highly experienced university teacher, Michael has spent many years training other therapists, which has given him a broad understanding of therapeutic processes and the value of an empathic, non-judgemental stance. He integrates contemporary practices into his work and places strong emphasis on therapeutic presence - the quality of attentive, responsive engagement that helps people feel heard and understood.

Michael recognises each person as unique and believes people bring a wealth of untapped resources into therapy. He works to help clients discover and make constructive use of those strengths, guiding exploration of personal meaning, coping strategies and practical steps for change. He is a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which denotes professional membership of the main UK body for counsellors and psychotherapists.

Client-centred, Existential, and Mindfulness Work Delivered Online

Michael uses client-centred therapy to place the client's experience at the heart of the work - offering empathic, non-judgemental listening that helps people explore their feelings, build self-awareness and strengthen their capacity to make meaningful choices. This approach is often helpful for relationship issues, self-esteem concerns and life transitions.

Existential therapy in Michael's practice encourages exploration of personal meaning, values and responsibility. It supports people facing questions about identity, loss, emptiness or major life changes by helping them clarify what matters and how they want to live.

Mindfulness therapy introduces present-focused skills to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. Simple attention practices and reflective techniques can assist with anxiety, stress, compassion fatigue and relapse prevention in addiction recovery.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Michael works collaboratively with clients and registered professionals to identify the best fit based on needs, goals and preferences. He adapts methods over time as those needs change.

Online sessions - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging - offer flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits or those living far from specialist services. These formats make it easier to maintain consistency in therapy and to access support from wherever the client is located.
