Michael Mayerfeld

I am currently accepting new enquiries. I see clients in North-West London (Maida Vale), Hertfordshire (Radlett), as well as on Zoom.

As a Counsellor and Addiction Psychotherapist, I support children, young people and young adults with addictive behaviours and other mental health issues (e.g. anxiety, depression, exam stress, loneliness). If this is for you or for your loved one, feel free to get in touch and we can set up our first appointment.

I am an Advanced Practitioner and Accredited Member of the professional body, Addiction Professionals. I hold a Masters of Science in Counselling and in the Psychology of Addiction and I am a qualified Youth Worker.

I have specialist training in supporting young people in the field of addiction. I can help with drug and alcohol use, whether you are experimenting or if you feel it is now a little more complex and maybe you are worrying about it. I also help young people affected by other people's addiction, so I recognise the bravery of parents reaching out when they think their use may be impacting their children.

You may be concerned about how much time you are spending gaming and maybe it affects your school or family life. You may have found yourself no longer feeling in control of certain behaviours, and this could be gambling, sex or other compulsions. If there are any habits you feel are getting worse, therapy can be a good space to help make sense of it. I always have a warm and non-judgemental approach.

It's worth noting that very few therapists have specialist training in addiction, and even fewer are qualified to work specifically with young people in this area. This is my specific niche and issue that I have such a strong passion to work with. I collaborate with families and actively involve parents and caregivers. I have experience working in schools, working with anger management, and I also support deaf clients.

My scope extends to neurodivergent young people, addressing their unique needs and fostering understanding. Furthermore, I am dedicated to addressing LGBTQ+ issues and providing a safe and inclusive counselling space for those within this community. 

Once you reach out via my email address, my phone number or using the BACP contact box, I will respond within 24 hours. Please check your spam email folder if you have not heard from me within this time frame.

We will then agree on a time/place for our first appointment. I find weekly appointments are normally most appropriate and generally we keep to the same time/place each week. Parents/carers are welcome to join for the first session if this would be helpful.
