3. Therapeutic Approach

Michael's approach is direct, authentic, and deeply respectful. He knows that for many men, the therapy room can feel like foreign territory — and he meets that with patience, humour, and zero pressure. He uses EMDR to help men process experiences they've spent years "just getting on with," often discovering that the anger or numbness they've been carrying is rooted in unprocessed pain. His clients frequently say they wish they'd come sooner. Outside the therapy room, Michael is a keen trail runner and believes movement is medicine.

He offers in-person sessions in Te Aro and telehealth across New Zealand.
