Longford Garden Counselling

Welcome to Longford Garden Counselling — honest conversations about therapy, relationships, and living well.

I'm Mike, a BACP-accredited psychotherapist running an integrative private practice, working chiefly with LGBTQIA+ and ethically non-monogamous clients, among others.

Here you'll find:
- Counselling theory explained plainly
- My take on current topics in counselling
- LGBTQ+, non-monogamy & relationship topics
- The bigger questions behind therapy

Everything here is referenced — my own views, grounded in theory, research and lived experience.

As a busy therapist, I use Claude (Anthropic's AI) to help run this channel and reach more people.

Confidentiality note: I never share confidential information from anyone I work with professionally.

New videos every Friday — education and reflection, not a replacement for therapy, but part of a safe, welcoming community.
If you're in crisis, call Samaritans on 116 123 (free, 24/7) or 999 in an emergency.
