Michael Nkeng, BACP

Michael Nkeng is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationships and trauma. He also helps with depression, sleep and eating issues, anger, self-esteem and career concerns. Michael lists ADHD and coping with life changes among his focuses, and he works with problems such as obsessions, compulsions and panic attacks.

Michael approaches conversations as a partnership. He believes clients know their own story and brings eight years of experience to help them use their strengths. Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical, with an emphasis on everyday habits and how thoughts shape feelings and actions.

He draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking and try new responses. Emotionally-Focused Therapy underpins work around relationships and strong feelings. Mindfulness techniques are used to build steadiness and awareness in daily life.

Michael holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. That connection reflects his ongoing commitment to professional practice in the UK and Ireland.

People who want to start work with him are invited to complete the Start Therapy questionnaire and arrange sessions through the scheduling tools. Sessions are organised around the client and the practicalities of life, with an aim of making therapy fit into day-to-day routines.

His style is calm and encouraging. He focuses on clear steps, listening carefully, and helping people develop habits that support lasting change.

How his approaches work in online counselling

CBT helps people spot unhelpful thinking and try different responses. Online sessions using cognitive-behavioural ideas often include practical exercises, thought records and short behavioural experiments to use between meetings. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and shifting strong emotions in relationships, helping people name feelings and find new ways to connect or respond. Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment through simple exercises that reduce reactivity and improve focus.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels doable, then suggest which methods to try first. Clients and therapist review progress together and adjust the plan as needed so the approach fits the person rather than the other way round.

The original biography does not list which session formats are offered, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy life schedules, cut travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when days are tight. It also makes continuity possible when circumstances change, helping people keep momentum with their habits and thought work.
