About Mike
Mike Kelly is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. He helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or depression, and supports those dealing with grief and major life changes. Mike aims to make the first step feel achievable and straightforward for anyone seeking help.
He keeps sessions focused and down to earth. Conversations are simple and direct, with time to talk about what is worrying you now and what you want to change.
Background and approach
Mike encourages people to name their feelings, consider small steps and try practical ways to cope between sessions. Mental health concerns he commonly addresses include relationship strain, workplace stress and loneliness. He also works with issues such as body image, attachment difficulties, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose.
These areas often overlap, and Mike helps people untangle what matters most to them. His approach is collaborative. He listens first, then suggests ways forward based on each person’s goals.
That might mean short-term strategies for tough days or longer conversations about patterns that keep repeating. Sessions are offered in English and can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and choose a time that suits them.

Online support
Choosing the right way of working is part of therapy. Mike will talk with each person about their needs and goals, and together they will decide which techniques to try. This collaborative process means the approach can change as progress is made and priorities shift.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video calls allow a fuller conversation and visual connection, while phone sessions can be easier when someone needs a shorter check-in or has limited bandwidth. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing or want flexible brief contact between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family duties and daily life.
