About Michael
Michael Nkeng is a counsellor who supports people facing anxiety, stress and related struggles. He uses straightforward conversations to help people understand what is troubling them and to find practical ways forward. Michael aims to make the first step feel manageable for anyone thinking about change.
He works from the view that each person knows their own story best. Sessions focus on identifying strengths and small, achievable steps. Michael encourages people to notice what is working already and to build on those parts of life.
Background and approach
Michael draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and mindfulness-based techniques. He uses these methods to help with worry, panic, unhelpful thought patterns and relationship strain. Sessions can include looking at thought patterns, practising grounding and improving emotional understanding.
Over eight years he has supported people with depression, trauma and addictions as well as challenges with sleep, eating, anger and self-esteem. He also helps with career concerns, life changes and questions about purpose. Communication problems, control issues and obsessive thinking are also areas he addresses.
Michael offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. He aims to work collaboratively so people feel heard and can try practical strategies between sessions. The focus is on making therapy useful in day-to-day life.
Approaches that guide our online sessions
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It helps people challenge unhelpful thought patterns and practise different responses to anxiety and panic. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and understand strong emotions and the impact they have on relationships and self-worth. It can be useful for people who want clearer emotional understanding and better emotional responses.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Michael will talk through goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. He works collaboratively to try an approach and adjust it if something does not fit, treating the plan as flexible rather than fixed.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face to face from wherever they are, phone sessions can fit a break at work or need less bandwidth, and text or chat can be useful for quick check-ins or reflective notes between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around daily life and to keep progress moving even when schedules are busy.
