About Michael
BACP. 8 years of professional experience. Michael Nkeng works with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and depression. He also addresses family concerns, eating and sleeping problems, anger, low self esteem, career issues, coping with life changes and ADHD. He uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and Mindfulness Therapy in his work.
Michael frames clients as the expert in their own story and highlights their existing strengths. In sessions he listens for what is already working, then helps people try different ways of managing difficult feelings and patterns. He keeps explanations straightforward and focuses on practical steps people can use between meetings.
CBT is used to look at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour, and to try out new ways of responding to stressful situations. EFT supports people in understanding and shifting emotional responses that affect relationships and attachment. Mindfulness helps with noticing thoughts and sensations without getting pulled into them.
Sessions aim to be collaborative and goal focused. Michael will work with each person to set priorities, track progress and adapt the approach where needed. He accepts international clients and offers therapy in English.
To begin, clients are invited to use the online counselling options and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session. Costs vary by location and use a cancellable subscription model.
How CBT, EFT and Mindfulness work in online counselling
CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and helps people try alternative responses to stress and anxiety. It often involves setting simple tasks between meetings to test new ways of thinking and behaving.EFT focuses on emotions and how they shape relationships and attachment patterns. Online sessions using EFT encourage people to name and work with emotional reactions that keep difficulties repeating.
Mindfulness involves learning to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without reacting. This can reduce rumination and help with sleep, anxiety and impulsive behaviours.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and practical constraints, and together they decide which methods to use and when to change course. This is presented as an ongoing, collaborative process rather than a one-off choice.
Confirm the current session formats before booking as the biography does not specify them here. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use online work to maintain continuity of care for clients in different locations.
