I really enjoyed the Compassionate Mindful Resilience (CMR) course. It gave me useful tools to manage stress and build resilience in a way that felt very practical and easy to apply. The sessions were relaxed and supportive, and I found the practices helped me feel more grounded and aware in everyday life. Overall, it was a really positive and valuable experience for me More...

I’ve just started the CMR course and my first impressions are very positive. The sign-up process was straightforward, and I received clear instructions to access the platform. The mix of written and visual content makes the learning more engaging. The staff are hands on, they are at reach when I have any queries. I’m feeling confident about the journey ahead and look forward to progressing through the rest of the course. More...

I've had a really positive experience in therapy and would highly recommend it to anyone considering taking that step. From the beginning, I felt supported, heard, and respected. Each session provided a safe and welcoming space to talk openly, without fear of judgment. The guidance and insight I've received have helped me gain a better understanding of myself and how I navigate life's challenges. The tools and strategies I've learned have been genuinely helpful in both everyday situations and deeper emotional work. It's been an empowering journey, and I'm truly grateful for the growth it's helped me achieve. More...

I’ve been seeing Mike for about six months, and it’s honestly made a huge difference. He’s super easy to talk to, never judgmental, and has this calm way of breaking things down so they actually make sense. What’s been especially helpful is that he doesn’t just listen, he also shares tools, resources, and studies that help me understand myself better and work through stuff on my own too. I’m starting to feel better than I did. If you’re looking for someone thoughtful, grounded, and genuinely helpful, I can’t recommend Mike enough. More...

I highly recommend Dr Michael as both a supervisor and psychotherapist. As a clinical supervisee, I’ve found him to be insightful, ethical, and consistently supportive. His guidance has deepened my clinical practice and built my confidence. He brings warmth, clarity, and professionalism to every session, creating a safe and reflective space. I feel very fortunate to work with him (Caroline Crotty) More...

Michael has provided fantastic psychotherapy over the last few weeks. I attended Michael for ADHD symptoms. We have built a great foundation over the sessions. I really enjoy the practical element of his sessions, it has helped rewire from longterm habits. His approach is subtle, so you don’t feel interrogated and analysed. The sessions feel like a chat but the results begin to show for themselves. One of the things that separated Michael is he is constantly learning and studying his craft. This alongside his experience makes him exceptional at providing help because it’s never linear when it comes to mental health! Thanks Michael More...

I've been attending Dr Mike McArdle for clinical supervision recently and I cannot recommend him highly enough. He is so kind and genuine in his approach and I feel like he really listens to me and has a deep understanding of what I am saying, and most importantly what I am not saying. He reads deeply into each situation and empowers me in my role. I look forward to our sessions and feel comfortable discussing whatever is on my mind. More...
