Who We Are
MJO Wellbeing Services Ltd was founded by Mike Ogden to provide professional counselling rooted in real-world experience and community understanding.
Drawing on a background in therapeutic practice, pastoral care and youth justice, Mike brings a grounded perspective on how people grow, cope and connect across education and community life.
What began as Mike Ogden Mentoring has evolved into a counselling practice based in Cawdor, offering counselling for adults and counselling with Play as Therapy for children and young people.
While the work has developed, the ethos remains the same, growth is more likely when people feel seen, heard and supported.
Our approach
• Grounded in relationship and focused on the individual
• Calm and steady, without quick fixes
• Informed by a range of therapeutic approaches, used thoughtfully and appropriately
• Built on trust, clear boundaries and professional integrity
Small steps. Steady growth. That’s the work.
Mission
Our Vision
Communities where wellbeing feels ordinary, part of daily life rather than a luxury. Where adults, children and young people are supported to grow in ways that feel steady and sustainable.
Our Mission
To provide professional counselling for adults, and counselling with Play as Therapy for children and young people, rooted in relationship, integrity and community understanding.
Through calm, thoughtful practice, we aim to create spaces where growth feels possible and support feels accessible.
How We Work
Children
Counselling with Play as Therapy provides children and young people with a safe, developmentally appropriate space to explore feelings, build resilience and strengthen communication.
Sessions are offered one-to-one in a calm and confidential setting in Cawdor, or online where appropriate.
Parents and carers remain important. Where suitable, communication takes place in a way that supports the young person while respecting the therapeutic space.
Alongside counselling, workshops such as Parenting Wellbeing and selected wellbeing sessions may be offered separately.
Adults
Counselling for adults offers a calm, confidential space to pause and reflect.
Sessions provide room to explore what may feel difficult, overwhelming or uncertain, at a pace that feels manageable.
It is not about quick fixes, but steady steps that support deeper understanding and meaningful growth over time.
Community Partnerships
We work alongside schools, charities and local organisations to support wellbeing within the wider community.
This may include initiatives such as Hub Club, Parenting Wellbeing Workshops and staff wellbeing sessions, developed through conversation and shared understanding of local needs.
While counselling services operate independently, the practice remains rooted in the community it serves.
