Michael Nkeng, BACP

Michael Nkeng works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and depression. He also supports those struggling with family tensions, eating and sleeping problems, anger, low self-esteem, career uncertainty, ADHD and life changes. Michael speaks English and accepts international clients from the United Kingdom.

He begins by listening closely to each person’s story and noticing their strengths. He treats the client as the expert on their life and helps them find practical steps forward. Sessions aim to be honest and straightforward, with room for reflection and learning.

Michael uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and mindfulness in his work. These methods are used to spot patterns, manage difficult feelings and build healthier responses. He adapts the mix of approaches to what the person needs rather than sticking to one method.

He has eight years of professional experience and holds BACP, which indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. That background informs how he structures sessions and conversations.

Therapy usually focuses on clear, manageable goals. Michael helps people practise new ways of coping between sessions and reviews progress together. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and book sessions according to his availability.

Approaches used in online therapy and what they do

Michael uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and then try new ways of thinking and acting. CBT often helps with anxiety, panic, obsessive patterns and low mood.

He also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at strong feelings and how they affect close connections and communication. EFT-style work can be useful for people wanting to understand and change how they respond emotionally in important relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Michael will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust what he uses based on the client’s needs, preferences and what helps most in practice. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed plan.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or making it simpler to have sessions when feeling overwhelmed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques to an online setting to help clients practise skills between sessions.
