About Michael
Michael Nkeng is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with eight years' experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and low mood. He also helps with sleep and eating problems, anger, self-esteem and life changes.
He keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Conversations focus on what feels most pressing and on small steps people can try between sessions. He draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how emotions shape difficult patterns, and uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness tools to address thinking, behaviour and coping in day-to-day life.
Michael encourages clients to notice how they react under pressure and to experiment with different ways of responding. He pays attention to patterns in relationships and to how unhelpful thoughts and actions can keep problems going. Sessions often include noticing feelings, trying simple exercises, and planning next steps.
Practical matters such as work, family strain, career choices and problems with focus or obsessive thinking are discussed plainly. He supports people who want clearer communication, better self-regulation and steadier routines around sleep and eating.
Clients can expect a collaborative approach that names emotions, maps patterns and tests changes in small, manageable ways. Michael aims to help people build clearer routines, reduce overwhelming reactions and gain more control over their everyday choices.
Approaches used online and what to expect
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and expressing core emotions that shape relationship and personal patterns. Online sessions using EFT can help people notice recurring emotional responses and try different ways of responding in everyday life.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. CBT work online often includes short behavioural experiments, thought records and practical steps to reduce anxiety, obsessive thinking or unhelpful routines. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve attention, which can help with stress, sleep and focus.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Michael will talk with each person about what feels most useful and will combine elements from EFT, CBT and mindfulness as needed. This is a collaborative process that adapts to goals and preferences.
