About Michael
Michael Nkeng is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and sleep problems. He also supports those dealing with addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and anger. He works with clients to identify practical steps they can try between sessions and to build on their existing strengths.
He believes people are the experts in their own stories and draws on that knowledge during sessions. Michael uses clear, down-to-earth language and creates a space for people to talk through what feels overwhelming. He aims to make the first steps feel manageable and to set small goals that fit into everyday life.
Michael combines approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to suit each person. That means challenging unhelpful thinking, looking at emotional patterns, and practising simple awareness exercises. He keeps sessions focused on what matters most to the client and adapts techniques to their pace.
He holds BACP, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Michael has eight years of professional experience across the United Kingdom and Ireland. This background informs his practical, solution-minded style.
People often come to him for help with sleep and rest, coping with life changes, self-esteem, and issues such as obsessions, panic or ADHD-related challenges. He encourages a collaborative approach so plans are realistic and useful between sessions.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Michael commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in his practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can help with anxiety, panic and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy involves simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and rest.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michael will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with each person and then agree a way of working together. That means trying methods and adjusting them if something does not feel helpful, so the plan fits the individual's life.
If you are considering online therapy, please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit counselling into busy days, avoid travel time and choose quieter surroundings that suit them. Others prefer shorter check-ins or approaches that focus on exercises and homework they can practise between meetings. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can adapt materials and homework to work well in an online setting.
