About Michael

Michael Nkeng is a counsellor who helps people deal with stress, anxiety and panic attacks. He also supports those facing addictions, relationship problems, trauma and depression. He speaks English and works with people in the United Kingdom and internationally. Michael holds BACP credential, and he brings eight years of professional experience to his work.

He uses straightforward, practical conversations to help people clarify what they want to change. Sessions often include learning new ways to manage distressing thoughts and feelings. Michael believes the person in front of him knows their story best, and he aims to build on each client’s strengths.

His approach mixes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Emotionally-Focused Therapy and mindfulness practices. That means he helps people notice patterns in thinking and behaviour, explore emotional needs in relationships, and learn simple awareness exercises to slow things down. Techniques are chosen to match what each person needs.

Michael frames progress as small, steady steps rather than sudden fixes. He works with people on practical strategies for sleep, anger, focus, self-esteem and life changes, alongside core issues like panic, obsessions and control worries. Sessions focus on what makes day-to-day life easier.

If someone wants to begin, they complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. Fees vary with location and the service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Michael commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in his work. CBT involves noticing and shifting unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns to ease symptoms such as panic and persistent worry. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to calm the body and steady the mind, useful for stress and sleep difficulties.

He also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people understand and name their emotional needs. This approach looks at how emotions affect reactions and relationships, and it can make it easier to change repeated patterns that cause conflict or distress.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. He will work collaboratively to choose approaches that fit a person’s goals, preferences and daily life. That means trying techniques, reviewing what helps, and adjusting plans together.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, remove travel time and allow regular check-ins around other commitments. Some people prefer shorter or audio-only sessions to fit a break at work, while others find video and longer sessions better for deeper emotional work. Registered or accredited professionals can discuss which arrangement will suit each person’s needs.
