About Michael
Counsellor Michael Nkeng is a BACP member with eight years' experience. He works with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and depression. He also supports people with family concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, low self-esteem and career questions.
Michael frames sessions around what clients bring. He starts by listening to the current problem and what matters most to the person. He uses straight talk and practical steps alongside reflective conversation. Sessions aim to make small, usable changes rather than sudden fixes.
He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Mindfulness approaches. CBT helps spot unhelpful thinking and change behaviours. EFT is used to look at emotional patterns that affect relationships. Mindfulness work centres attention and reduces rumination.
Michael treats issues like obsessive thoughts, panic attacks, control problems and questions about life purpose. He also works with people who identify as having ADHD and helps with routines and coping strategies. Work can include short exercises and practical coping tools between sessions.
His style is direct and focused on clear steps people can try. He encourages people to notice what works and to adjust as they go. For anyone in the United Kingdom considering counselling, Michael offers a straightforward process to begin.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Michael uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic and low mood because it breaks problems into clear steps and actions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at how emotions shape close relationships and helps people notice patterns that cause repeated conflict or distance. Mindfulness work teaches attention strategies and simple practices to reduce rumination and manage stress.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. He will discuss your goals and preferences and then suggest approaches to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as you make progress or the focus shifts.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to keep continuity of care if you move or travel. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, often use this flexibility to match sessions to everyday life rather than to a fixed schedule.
