About Michael
Michael Nkeng is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with eight years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and low mood. He also works with concerns such as eating and sleeping issues, anger, self-esteem, career questions, and ADHD.
Michael uses straightforward, practical work in sessions. He helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and then tests different ways of responding. Sessions look at day-to-day patterns, problem-solving, and small experiments to change how things feel and what people do.
His approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy. CBT helps by spotting thought patterns that increase worry or low mood. EFT looks at emotions in relationships and how people connect. Mindfulness teaches ways to calm the mind and focus on the present.
Michael treats each concern with clear steps and simple tools. He aims to make ideas practical so they can be used between sessions. People are invited to try small changes, review what worked, and adapt as needed.
He asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. The first meeting is used to set goals and agree what to work on next.
How he uses CBT, EFT and mindfulness online
Michael commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot thought patterns that fuel anxiety and depression. CBT sessions focus on specific, practical steps such as testing beliefs, changing routines, and building coping skills that people can try between meetings.He also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at strong feelings and how they affect close relationships. EFT-style work aims to name emotions and practise different ways of responding in conversations. Mindfulness Therapy is used to train attention and reduce reactivity through short, repeatable exercises.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will talk with each person about their goals and test methods together. That collaborative process helps agree which techniques to keep and which to change over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to use video or audio depending on what suits their bandwidth and comfort. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt tools and homework to an online setting so the practical work continues between sessions.
