We’re pleased to share that our Psychosocial Recovery Coaching services are expanding, with Behaviour Support opening for Expressions of Interest (formal intake beginning late February 2026).
These services will be delivered by Michael Waring, who brings a rare blend of behavioural science, psychological training, and deep sector experience.
Michael’s Background
Michael holds a Bachelor of Psychological Science, Honours in Psychological Science, a Master of Business Psychology, and is continuing postgraduate training on the pathway to clinical psychology. He has worked across the mental health, disability, education, and justice systems for over a decade. His background includes roles in specialist coordination, behaviour support, team leadership, consulting, and founding his own service - roles that shaped his ability to think systemically, hold paradox, and work compassionately within complex environments.
Alongside his clinical work, Michael is also Alike’s Chief Technology Officer, leading the design of ethical, inclusive systems that make services more human, not less. His work blends evidence with imagination, rigour with compassion, and practical action with a long-term vision for improving the lives of the people we serve.
At Alike, we believe in meeting people where they are — with clarity, compassion, and respect. Michael’s practice reflects this. His approach is calm, grounded, and thoughtful, helping people slow down enough to understand what’s really happening in their lives, break complexity into clear steps, and build capability, confidence, and momentum over time.
