桜梅桃李 (Oubaitori)
Meaning: This Japanese phrase refers to four types of trees—cherry (桜, sakura), plum (梅, ume), peach (桃, momo), and apricot (李, uri)—each of which produces distinct flowers and fruits. The concept behind oubaitori is that these trees do not compete or compare with one another; instead, they each bloom in their own unique way, symbolizing individuality, diversity and non-comparison.

十人十色 (Juunin Toiro)
Meaning: This phrase means "ten people, ten colors," signifying that everyone has their own preferences, characteristics, and way of being. More commonly used in Japanese culture, this phrase celebrates human diversity and acknowledges that everyone is unique.

Change doesn’t have to be overwhelming to be effective. I teach my clients that even the smallest shift in how we see ourselves or our lives can create powerful ripple effects over time.

Often, the beliefs we formed when we were younger quietly shape our decisions, reactions, and relationships as adults. Through counselling, I support my clients in gently adjusting these old lenses so new possibilities and healthier patterns can emerge.

Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that everything is connected, such as our emotions, our bodies, our thoughts, and the patterns we repeat in relationships.

Yin and yang show how two different ways of relating can either support each other or slip out of balance, creating tension and misunderstanding.

This philosophy deeply informs Michael’s approach to couples counselling. He helps partners recognise the patterns they fall into, one moving forward, the other pulling back, and supports them in finding steadier, more harmonious ways of communicating.

In every relationship, couples encounter points of difference — whether it is intimacy, communication, or parenting styles.

It is common to feel stuck, frustrated, or disconnected when these differences start to outweigh connection.

In counselling, I support couples to navigate these challenges, hear each other clearly, and find ways to reconnect. Together, we create space for understanding, growth, and closeness.
