“At the age of fifty-two, you imagine you’ve got most things about life and relationships sorted out.  But sometimes..  stuff happens that knocks your heart, soul and spirit about.  When this happened to me, I am eternally grateful that it felt right to trust Mike to be able to share what was going on.  His extensive experience, balanced blend of coaching and counselling, sensitive listening and varied techniques truly helped me process my feelings and in turn, regain my natural happiness.  Thanks Mike.”

“Mike’s coaching and counselling expertise helped me process my emotions and regain my happiness when I needed it most.” – Haworth Ward-Drummond

“Mike’s expert coaching and counselling helped me regain happiness during a difficult time.” – Haworth Ward-Drummond

Mike helped me at what was possibly the lowest point of my life- losing my Dad to COVID, lockdown and homeworking was completely overwhelming and I did not know what direction to turn. I had known Mike for a while professionally, and we had always been like-minded and passionate about wellbeing. Experiencing his approach as a client, he was insightful, compassionate, warm, but also gently challenging when needed- the combination of his skillset of different complementary therapies had a profoundly positive effect on me and I felt my mindset shifting, for the short and long term in a  relatively short space of time. By the time we came to the end of our sessions, I was feeling truly ‘Epic’ which I honestly never thought I would feel again. I would recommend Mike to anyone who has lost their mojo, sense of direction, lost their confidence, or have anything that is holding them back that needs to be banished forever. I cannot recommend him enough, for, at that time, the sessions helped me to function again, but also to become a new and improved version of my former self.

“For over 10 years, I struggled with anxiety and depression. Mike’s combination of counseling and holistic therapies provided the support I needed to overcome negative behaviors. His tools have helped me make long-term positive changes in my life.”

“Mike’s holistic approach to mental health and well-being allowed me to stop taking medications for physical pains. His deep care for clients and his holistic healing approach gave me the tools I needed to regain control over my health and happiness.”

I thoroughly enjoyed the Mental Health First Aider course! It was not only informative but also empowering. The instructor, Mike’s expertise and engaging teaching style made the content relatable and easy to understand. Their ability to facilitate discussions while ensuring everyone felt comfortable sharing their thoughts was commendable. Thank you for such a transformative experience!

This is a Mike Lawrence testimonial from Steve Timmins at the University of Sheffield.

“The University of Sheffield has worked with Mike Lawrence for several years. Mike is hugely motivational, inspiring, and knowledgeable. He presented at our Inox network event and captivated every delegate with his insights into mental health, wellness and the importance of looking after ourselves.”

“I chaired a professional conference on stress in Frankfurt and heard Mike Lawrence present. I was deeply impressed — not only by his intelligence, but by the humanity and sincerity he brought to the room.”

This is a genuine fibromyalgia support success story from a client who experienced chronic pain, fatigue, and ‘fibro fog’ before working with me.

After a few years of distressing work and personal stress beyond my control, my body started to react in my late 50’s. I had pains in my shoulders and lower back, extreme fatigue and some mental confusion which I now know is referred to as ‘Fibro Fog’. An initial consultation with Mike led me, with his guidance, to a level of control over my life and huge improvements in my condition I never imagined possible. Mike Lawrence’s strategy and approach to my Fibromyalgia allowed me to identify the root cause, step back a little and for my mind and body to balance and take control again. I am no longer a cynic, nor do I drive myself too hard and truly believe that we can sometimes, with the right advice, re-adjust. I am in debt to Mike for opening up all the possibilities so I have no dependence on medication any longer.

“Thanks to Mike’s guidance and approach, I gained control over my Fibromyalgia and improved my condition beyond what I thought was possible.”
