About Michael

Michael Nkeng works on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression and related concerns. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in his work. Michael is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has eight years of professional experience.

Michael asks people to bring what they are most worried about to sessions and to talk through specific situations that cause distress. He focuses on practical steps and reflections that can change day-to-day patterns. Sessions often look at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and at ways to manage symptoms like panic, sleeplessness or low mood.

He also supports people dealing with family and relationship strain, communication problems and control issues. That includes work on self-esteem, life purpose and coping with major life changes. He addresses obsessive thoughts and compulsions as one of several focus areas.

Michael’s style combines structured techniques with reflective conversation. He draws on CBT to identify unhelpful thinking and on mindfulness to increase awareness in the moment. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps when strong feelings are getting in the way of relationships or decision-making.

Sessions are planned to build skills and to review progress. He encourages small, achievable steps between meetings and practical strategies for sleep, anger and addictive behaviours. People who want to begin are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session via the site.

How his approaches work in online counselling

Michael uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours; this approach is often used for anxiety, depression and panic-related issues. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on understanding and working with strong emotions that affect relationships and communication. Mindfulness Therapy teaches moment-to-moment awareness and practical exercises to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and stress management.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Michael will discuss what feels most useful based on the client’s goals and preferences, and he will adapt techniques as progress is reviewed. The decision about which methods to use is collaborative and can change over time.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins around work, or offering flexibility when routines change. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use these practical benefits to help clients maintain regular meetings and build skills between sessions.
