About Michael
Michael Nkeng is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with eight years of experience. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and depression. He also supports people facing sleep and eating issues, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD and questions about life purpose.
Michael approaches sessions as a collaborative process. He treats clients as the experts on their own lives and draws on their existing strengths. Conversations focus on practical steps people can try between sessions as well as how to manage difficult feelings in the moment.
He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in straightforward ways. That might mean spotting patterns of thought that make anxiety worse, practising short mindfulness exercises, or working on emotional responses that get in the way of close connections.
Sessions tend to be direct and goal-oriented while still allowing time to talk through recent setbacks. Michael helps people clarify priorities after a change in work, relationship or health, and explore what matters next without pushing a fixed plan.
People who reach out should expect a practical first session that reviews current struggles, what has helped before, and clear next steps. To begin, visitors are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial appointment.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Michael often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people see how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together. That approach uses practical exercises and experiments to reduce anxiety, manage panic and shift unhelpful patterns.He also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at emotional responses in close relationships. This helps people understand and change reactions that make communication and connection harder.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michael will discuss options and agree a plan with each person based on their goals and preferences. The choice of methods is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
