Michael Millett

Acknowledged by the international media and cosmopolitan and libertarian people as one of the top professional therapists in the field of mind-body medicine operating today. He was featured in the London Paper running over two days on January 3rd and 4th, 2007 and deemed to be amongst London`s Top 50 Finest Health Gurus. Michael G Millett continues to transform our understanding of the meaning of health through his eclectic style and by absorbing new ideas through a process of osmosis where he works fluently and elegantly with the communication between the unconscious mind and the human vibrational matrix. Understanding and practicing principles from Ericksonian (inducing conversational trance) and indirect hypnosis, he considerably enhances the delivery of any intervention (treatment).

Michael uses metaphor, surprise, confusion, humour, kinesics and paralinguistics (body language), and key language patterns which maximizes the effectiveness of the tools of therapy, increasing the ability to communicate verbally – and, as you will discern, more importantly - non verbally.

He works through a new life-giving paradigm combining major work and insights from psychology, holistic healthcare and spiritual wisdom, ones which encompass the fundamental principle that perfect health is more than just the absence of disease. 
Michael as a holist and fluent in healing envisions a healing system based upon the premise that health is a lively state of balance and integration of body, mind and spirit. He works through psychodynamic, person-centred, integrative, humanistic, eclectic, energy-based, solution-focused and transpersonal ways of application and continues to chart new pathways to unleash the potential for optimum health in us all by bridging modern mind technologies with old and forgotten wisdom and ways of being. Indeed his unique abilities enable him to treat on many levels simultaneously. 

Michael is very respectful of your personal needs and relies on your innate intelligence and powerful intuitive wisdom to creatively overcome obstacles to your freedom and success.

Being intentionally, consciously present offers profound joy in the moment with Michael.
Experienced by many is his model of openness and wisdom and is refreshingly direct and unconventional where he does not hide what he knows or thinks. He demands that we not turn away in the face of difficulty, that we take responsibility for our actions and their impact upon the whole. He helps us to to choose and act upon appropriate responses according to context, as an expression of our current personal power. His ability to "say it as it is" is a model of courage and clear thinking, and he is able to voice things that others are thinking in a way that is constructive. With him holding this space for us leads us to both a sense of wholeness and to a sense of our place within the whole.

Perhaps the most important thing that can be said about Michael, is that he makes a healing difference that will never leave!

Michael would like to share a bit about himself to allow you to make a decision about whether he is the right person to support you on your journey. Trust is a major part of the therapeutic and healing process and he believes it is important that you know something about him.
His final motivation towards practising psychotherapy and healing was because of his own emotional issues and through his own personal crisis in the past. Altruism as well as being a go giver are the motivating factors which define him a `healer`, along with his dedication to healthy, egalitarian, indigenous, positive and liberating principles and his focus on a moral obligation towards all humanity. Only giving allows us to know what we are and what we have within. His intention to serve points him towards what he needs to give and how to support people healthily. Real intention generates the will. 

He believes therapy / healing being more than just a knowledge of psychology theory and the application of clever techniques.
There is discipline, love and grace and the evolution of a person towards wholeness and greater sanctity which is an inner sense of something greater than oneself through recognising a meaning to existence that transcends one's immediate circumstances enabling us the opportunity to grow into a greater sense of who we truly are. That means SELF LOVE and EMPOWERMENT and self actualization which is a process and practice of deriving power from within the self by opening to the truth and seeing reality as it really is, rejecting the victim role, owning your choices, taking responsibility and being proactive with your choices with the support of Spirit if and as appropriate. 
Michael says that forgiveness is choosing to let it go and a gift you give to yourself. 
It is not something you do for someone else.
It allows you to believe and work toward a better future, one that is based on the liberty of choosing the eventuality that your hurt will not be the final word on the matter. 
It builds resolution that you can survive the pain and grow from it.
He also believes Kindness in words creates confidence, Kindness in thinking creates profoundness and Kindness in giving creates Love.

* Please note that Michael`s work is not connected to any one belief system, religion or ideology. Therefore, whatever a person’s religious beliefs (liberal and non-righteous or fundamentalist) or spiritual outlook on life or even if they don`t possess one at all, working with Michael can easily accommodate them as he works very well from a purely clinical and or secular level too with due positive regard.
The more ‘orthodox’ or ‘fundamentalist’ the client, the more they are likely to resist change and find it difficult, partly because they believe that, having the `right` beliefs, they are superior to others, including Michael, and perhaps should even try to convert him!! Such an attitude is not a good indicator of successful interaction and therapy. 

He is also trained for working with a short term, problem focussed model of counselling and therapy.

Michael sees himself as Anglo-Irish which is a term used historically to describe a privileged social class in Ireland, whose members were the descendants and successors of the Protestant Ascendancy, mostly belonging to the Anglican Church of Ireland or to a lesser extent one of the English dissenting churches, such as the Methodist church. 
Its usage continued in Victorian times, when it described a class composed mostly of Church of Ireland adherents who had adopted many English usages and customs while still acknowledging their Irish ancestry and background. Michael feels his heritage and nationality are still very important parts of his identity, both as an individual and as a citizen. As an individual, because he feels part of the culture and history of Britain and Ireland. As a citizen, because he says many of his rights and obligations depend on his link with Britain and Ireland. When we enter this physical life, we enter into a family. 
Even if one is an orphan, the individual enters some type of group structure. Groups are our earliest influences and include family, religion, school, ethnicity, politics and geographic location. Any time you feel pride at hearing your national anthem, or watching your country receive a gold medal at the Olympics, you are feeling the energy of your root chakra. 

It is interesting that in the UK and in London in particular today, it is expected, even demanded that we clasp to and see ourselves as a "multicultural society" as in being "politically correct" in support of a political ideology. The word itself has been used as a mantra to silence awkward comment.
However, Michael does NOT agree with any of it at all!
It's a contradiction in terms he says. Political multi-culturalism, de-culturalises the host society. Michael does not see himself as "multicultural. As part of the host society, he sees himself as "monocultural" where he supports engendering, protecting, and preserving his own unique culture, history and his spiritual heritage - socially, culturally, ecologically, and economically within the home nations of the British Isles and progressing forward with it.
Neither does he endorse introducing other laws into the English Law System such as Sharia Law. Michael says that integration under `English Law` is absolutely essential if we are ever to live together comfortably. Allowing the creeping introduction of Sharia merely reinforces the sense that Muslims are living parallel, separate lives. These Sharia Courts are an offense and a case of Lèse majesté or acts of treason. He believes in the UK that courts outside the Crown are 'Kangaroo' courts which are 'illegitimate' - and therefore illegal! Michael calls on these issues to be clarified. He says for us to feel comfortable and secure in our own country today, we need to know that we are not witnessing the establishment of 'a state within a state'.

The English, Irish, Scots, Welsh, Manx, Cornish and Islanders are sibling groups and practically are the same people here in the British Isles. A better name is the Anglo-Celtic Isles, Atlantic Archipelago or in Irish "Oileánrach an Atlantaigh", or West European Isles - in Irish "Oileáin Iarthair Eorpa".
Culture is very relevant and important as it is distinctive for all of us. It gives one a sense of identity and pride.
It promotes a sense of continuity and an understanding of where we have been and how we got here today. It is the same for all cultures! Culture forms invisible bonds between people with the same cultural background, passing a propogation of values which not only transmits cultural knowledge but retains the bonds amongst it`s people. This builds up a long term tradition and continuity over years and moves forward with a flow.

However, Michael does acknowledge at the same time and welcomes SOME of the valuable ethnic minority cultures within these islands as well which have chosen to live here and remain which he can only respect in conscience if they are progressive and are `becoming healthier`, as well as not interfering with his values or freedoms, English / Irish / Scottish Law etc, or the basic rights of national sovereignty and self-determination.
A `healthy` culture is a culture that is non racist, is not positive discriminative in the way it conducts it`s affairs, not homophobic, doesn`t have to be politically correct, respects all sentient life, puts ethical values above religious ones, not censored, nor fundamentalist, nor chauvinist, nor misogynistic nor where religion is allowed to be a coercive force and a narrow definition that rules.
A `healthy` culture seeks to influence so that discrimination is prevented. It is based on moral and ethical arguments and is concerned with promoting the rights of all people in it`s culture.
Michael believes that the `progressive` British and Irish way of life supports this vision and a number of other cultures do not!

In truth, he sees himself as "core-cultural" based on the ideologies of Utilitarianism and Egalitarianism and holds the utmost respect for the `progressive` British and Irish way of life as the host societies here. He says that multiculturalism is divisive and does not help anyone. The only way for everyone to live more peacefully is to consider themselves with pride as being part of their own personal ethno-cultural continuity whatever that is, and wanting to see their culture progress and become healthier, and if applicable, assimilating into the host society`s culture if they live outside of their own cultural region. And seeing themselves as connected and being part of the progressive whole.
TRUTH is, there is but one humanity with multitudinous manifestations or cultures that need to be honoured, preserved and progressed.

Michael was born in Kensington, London. His childhood was influenced as an open minded "Cultural Roman Catholic". He grew up in the City of Nottingham and later County Tipperary in Ireland before returning again to London where he now lives in the urban heart of North West London with his partner, as well as a permanent house guest (friend) and two cats `Isis` and `Merlin`. It`s a very calm and happy home!
All his immediate family come from and live in Ireland going back aeons to his priesthood druid ancestry from megalithic times and he naturally feels a very strong affinity to Ireland and Celtic Culture and says it is important to honour our lineage.  

Knowledge of the Druids comes directly from classical writers of their time. They were compared to the learned priesthoods of antiquity, the Indian Brahmins, the Pythagoreans, and the Chaldean astronomers of Babylon. Caesar wrote that they

"know much about the stars and celestial motions, and about the size of the earth and universe, and about the essential nature of things, and about the powers and authority of' the immortal gods; and these things they teach to their pupils."

While respecting many cultures, he particularly honours all traditions of every race and religion as connected to Ireland and he respects Ireland`s many ways from the pre-Celtic Firbolgs and Formorians, to the Duathe De Danann and Celtic Christians.

He admires both native Irish and British tradition going back to a time when the two islands of Ierne (Ireland) and Albion (England, Scotland and Wales) were jointly known as the Pretannic Isles, from Pretani, 'the Painted People,' our ancient spiritual and physical ancestors.

Michael draws inspiration from the sacred land and from his ancestry whose myths and mysteries are his wellspring. He promotes restoration through recovering a sense of the sacred in all areas of our lives so that we can begin to heal our society, our land and ourselves.

His mother`s name is O`Mahony, first found in County Cork, Ireland where they held a family seat from ancient times. (The O`Mahony Crest).

The name comes from the Irish O Mathghamhna, stemming from mathghamhan, meaning 'bear'.
The surname was adopted in the eleventh century by one of the dominant families of the Munster Eoghanacht peoples, the Cineal Aodha; the individual from whom the name derives was the child of a marriage between Cian, chief of the Cineal Aodha, and Sadhbh, daughter of King Brian Boru - High King of Ireland (Brian mac Cennetig or Brian Boroimhe in Gaelic) who was born in Munster, Ireland. A member of the Dal Cais (Delcassians) tribe and who died in the Battle of Clontarf in 1014. With the rise of the MacCarthys in the twelfth century the influence of the O'Mahonys declined, and was largely confined to the two areas of west Cork with which they are still most strongly associated, the Iveagh peninsula and the barony of Kinalmeaky, around the modern town of Bandon.
In these areas they retained a large measure of power and wealth until the final collapse of Gaelic power in the wars of the seventeenth century.
Michael`s mother comes from the Galway branch of the name.
His maternal grandmother`s name is O`Farrell and his paternal grandmother`s name is Curran.

Coming from a medical background (his mother, which sadly was curtailed through ill-health), - at school, Michael always wanted to become a medical doctor but when he eventually decided his course was a broader `healing` one, he found he was drawn to the more emotional aspects of health care which he believes are fundamental to `healing`. This made him study specifically for and take up emotional therapy training. Amongst his trainings and studies he trained with Madame Anne Proton (London and Paris) in Psychotherapy, Counselling and Hypnotherapy. Subsequently, he was supervised by Anne Billings (later a Member of the Board of Directors of the UKCHO) at the National Association of Counsellors, Hypnotherapists and Psychotherapists - a UKCHO member body here in the UK after taking their exams also and passing with credits.
The UKCHO is the UK Confederation of Hypnotherapy Organisations founded in 1998 in order to provide a non political arena to discuss and implement changes to the profession of hypnotherapy. It is the aim of UKCHO to promote the professional regulation of hypnotherapy within the United Kingdom. The aim of such regulation is to set standards of ethics and training which ensure that all hypnotherapy practitioners are safe and competent to practice, thus fulfilling the primary criterion of professional regulation - protecting the public.
Michael is a registered hypnotherapist with the UKCHO. Reg No. 81400
He later became a Certified Practitioner of NLP / Time Lines with the European Institute of NLP through studying and training with Ian McDermott more than ten years ago.
