MIKE OGDEN
COUNSELLOR & PSYCHOTHERAPIST
Life does not always fall apart loudly.
I offer a calm, confidential space for adults, children and young people to feel heard and begin making sense of what feels difficult, at a pace that feels right for you.
Some people reach out because something has happened. Others have been coping for so long that they no longer know what “okay” is supposed to feel like.
You do not need to have everything figured out before getting in touch.
Three ways we might work together
Counselling for adults, for children and young people, and Figuring Things Out… workshops for families, schools and communities.
ADULTS
Counselling & psychotherapy
Somewhere to slow things down, feel heard and begin making sense of what is happening. Whether something has happened, or life has gradually become harder to carry.
CHILDREN & YOUNG PEOPLE
Children do not need fixing
A safe, consistent space to process what is happening. Alongside talking, I use play and creative approaches, in ways that feel natural and manageable for their age.
WORKSHOPS & PROGRAMMES
Figuring Things Out…
Space for honest conversation, shared understanding and practical ideas, for parents, children and young people, schools, professionals and communities.
MEET MIKE
“Your story is your story. You only need to share what feels right, when it feels right.”
Hi, I’m Mike, a counsellor and psychotherapist based in the Highlands of Scotland. Over the last 25+ years, I’ve worked across education, pastoral care, youth justice, community wellbeing and therapeutic support.
A lot of behaviour makes more sense once we slow down enough to look beneath it. Whether I’m working therapeutically or alongside parents, professionals and schools, I’m usually more interested in understanding the person than controlling the behaviour.
