A World Top Therapist in the field of hypnosis
Known internationally as one of the top therapists in his field,
Michael dedicates his practice to helping people across the UK and Ireland thrive. Through a gentle, integrative approach, he blends clinical, psychodynamically-informed, and spiritual practices to support you exactly where you are. His goal is to help you move past life’s challenges, embrace your full potential, and discover a clear, fulfilling path forward in your personal, professional, and spiritual life.
Michael was born within the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea in London, SW10 of Irish descent, lived in Parsons Green, SW6, and later in Nottingham, County Tipperary and Dublin in Ireland.
He could proudly call himself a Chelsea Boy or a Chelsean 🙂
It is his favourite part of London with its historic Georgian and Victorian townhouses, quiet private garden squares, and scenic walks along the River Thames where the area maintains a charming, close-knit village atmosphere despite being in the centre of a major global city.
He can trace his family history back to 1066 and William the Conqueror – through his family name MILLETT.
Michael is a huge enthusiast of British and Irish History.
However, he has observed a profound shift in recent times.
Modern British therapy rooms are increasingly becoming spaces where the wider anxieties of our nation are laid bare. Day after day, clients from all walks of life bring the heavy emotional toll of the cost-of-living crisis, economic uncertainty, and the strained state of our beloved NHS directly into their sessions.
Alongside these worries, many clients express a deep, palpable concern regarding the complex, global challenges impacting our communities, as well as a growing exhaustion with the political polarisation that divides us. There is a widespread desire for leadership that can foster social cohesion, support public infrastructure, and offer clarity and fairness within our immigration and asylum systems. Across the political spectrum, there is a growing recognition that finding sustainable, compassionate, and well-managed pathways forward is vital to protecting the well-being of everyone living in the UK, including the most vulnerable. This is not about division; it is about the fundamental values of fairness, safety, and mutual care.
From a psychological perspective, these sustained systemic challenges—from economic hardships to broader global displacements—are no longer just abstract policy debates. They have become a source of widespread national stress that impacts the collective peace of mind of the British public.
While Michael remains strictly apolitical in his practice and does not advocate for specific border policies, he is acutely aware of the growing public weariness with the adversarial nature of modern politics.
He firmly believes that free speech, open expression, and deep empathy are essential to our collective well-being.

It provides the essential context needed to uncover the roots of trauma, recognise relationship patterns, and tailor personalised care.
By exploring both individual and intergenerational narratives, we can build deep trust, foster self-awareness, and facilitate lasting healing.
As a dedicated historian, Michael believes that examining the past is vital to understanding the human experience. His research spans the rich tapestries of the British and Irish peoples, as well as global histories across all cultural backgrounds.
Michael embraces the celebration of heritage as a powerful tool for self-discovery. He honours diverse European, African, Asian, and intersecting heritages while firmly rejecting racial discrimination and antisemitism, and discrimination based on sexual orientation.
Ultimately, he is passionate about creating an inclusive, respectful space where everyone feels valued, equal, and empowered to contribute positively. As he likes to note, true distinction comes not from background, but from reverence and good deeds.
We all share far more in common with people across the globe than we have differences. Recognising this shared humanity is a deeply inspiring truth—one that encourages us to learn from one another and boldly embrace the beauty of our diverse world.
Michael says:
“I believe in creating a warm, collaborative space where you are welcomed exactly as you are. My practice is grounded in open curiosity, psychological flexibility, and honest conversation. Here, we honour your whole self—bringing together your mind, body, and deeper desire for purpose and connection.In this safe and supportive environment, you are encouraged to think independently, tune into your body’s wisdom, and explore new perspectives. I deeply value and respect your unique story. Together, we will use curiosity, rather than judgement, to unlock personal growth, healing, and your true potential.”

Dr. Michael G Millett continually transforms our understanding of holistic health through his warm, eclectic approach.
By beautifully bridging the gap between the unconscious mind and our human energy, his expert use of indirect and conversational hypnosis provides deeply effective, personalised guidance.
Michael focuses on the powerful, non-verbal connections that truly support lasting personal growth
Michael’s spiritual perspective is deeply rooted in the beauty and sacredness of the natural world, viewing life as a journey of joy and connection rather than rigid doctrine.
While culturally Christian, he embraces a personal, inclusive spirituality that honours Earth’s natural cycles, our ancestors, and the diverse ways humanity connects with the divine.
He finds deep resonance in the principles of Taoism (Daoism), particularly the concept of Ziran—the art of living naturally, spontaneously, and in effortless harmony with the universe.
Free from dogma, Michael’s philosophy emphasises personal freedom, introspection, and living authentically, unburdened by restrictive cultural conditioning.
He has a deep appreciation for visiting English churches, particularly those of the Church of England. He values these spaces for their centuries of rich history, breathtaking Gothic and medieval architecture, and the peaceful sanctuary they provide from the pace of modern life.
He is especially drawn to their beautiful stained glass and the welcoming, inclusive atmosphere they offer. Acting as vital anchors for their local communities, these historic churches provide him with meaningful opportunities for quiet introspection and a genuine connection to local heritage.
Michael’s practice is built on a compassionate, holistic paradigm that blends insights from psychology, holistic healthcare, and spiritual wisdom. He embraces the philosophy that true health and human potential represent much more than simply the absence of disease, fear, or emotional blocks.
As a dedicated practitioner, Michael envisions a system of healing that fosters a vibrant balance and integration of body, mind, and spirit—a state of wellness that is accessible to everyone.
To best support his clients, he draws on a diverse, integrative range of approaches, including clinical, psychodynamic, person-centered, humanistic, solution-focused, and transpersonal modalities.
By seamlessly bridging modern therapeutic techniques with time-honoured wisdom, Michael continues to chart new paths toward optimal health and personal fulfillment. With his highly intuitive nature, he is able to guide and support clients on multiple levels simultaneously.
In 1995, Dr. Michael established his private practice in the heart of London, built upon the foundation of a strong therapeutic alliance.
He provides a grounded, objective, and deeply non-judgemental space completely centered on the client’s unique needs.
Rather than offering casual advice, this collaborative bond is designed to nurture self-understanding, personal agency, and meaningful growth.
Throughout his career, Michael has brought his expertise to esteemed locations, including Harley Street (London W1) and the Replingham Clinic (London SW18).
Michael loves connecting with people. He works closely with individuals locally in Grantham and Newark, and across Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, and Leicestershire, and supports clients nationwide. Through Microsoft Teams, he easily welcomes individuals from all over the world, ensuring location is never a barrier to getting the support you need.
Michael and his work and practice (Elevated Therapy) is dedicated to inclusive and affirming care. He provides a respectful, supportive environment tailored to the unique intersecting identities of every individual, inclusive of all diverse cultural, racial, sexual, gender, and ability backgrounds.
