About Michael
Michael Nkeng is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with eight years of experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and depression. He also supports people dealing with sleep and eating concerns, anger, low self-esteem, career stress, ADHD, and life changes.
He works with clients in a straightforward way, treating them as the expert in their own life. Sessions focus on practical steps and small changes that can make daily life feel more manageable.
Background and approach
Michael aims to create a space where people can talk honestly about what is hard for them. His approach draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy. That means sessions can include looking at patterns of thinking and behaviour, exploring emotions in relationships, and practising grounding or attention skills.
Michael tailors these tools to each person’s situation rather than using a fixed recipe. Clients can expect a collaborative style that balances listening with clear suggestions. He encourages trying short experiments between sessions and checking what helps most.
The focus is on building skills people can use outside therapy. Michael holds BACP credentialing, which shows his professional registration with a national body. He offers services in English and accepts international clients.

How Michael works online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on feelings in close relationships. It helps people name emotions, understand patterns with others, and practise new ways of communicating when emotions are strong.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices. These techniques can reduce reactivity and help with stress, sleep problems and rumination.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to the client’s goals and preferences, and then suggest which methods might suit best. Together they review what is helping and adjust the plan as needed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time and allow people to work from a quieter space. They can also allow shorter check-ins when needed and provide flexibility around work or family commitments.
