How this is achieved will depend on the nature of your production, the psychological profile of the individuals involved and other context-specific details. Michael can provide a range of services from writing pre-production reports to providing on-set psychological consultation, monitoring and support. Most importantly, he will give you feedback to help you control safety whilst extracting the best from what you wish to achieve in your production.
