About Michael

Michael Iffil is a counsellor with 15 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. He uses a blend of person-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas, and mindfulness in sessions. He aims to create a clear, practical space where people can talk through what is troubling them and find ways to move forward.

He focuses on everyday problems like stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. He also supports people dealing with depression, anger, addictions and grief. Relationship and family concerns are included among his areas of interest, as are work and career questions.

Michael draws on client-centred therapy to listen closely and follow each person’s priorities. He uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot patterns of thinking and behaviour and try out small changes. Mindfulness practices are offered to help with grounding, reducing reactivity and building calm in daily life.

His approach is collaborative and straightforward. He treats people as experts in their own lives and works with them to set practical goals. Sessions aim to leave people with clearer choices and manageable steps to try between meetings.

Michael is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, referred to as BACP. He offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and book according to the therapist’s schedule.

Online approaches that focus on practical change

Client-centred therapy puts the person’s priorities first and relies on attentive listening and reflection to help them make sense of their situation. It suits people who want a space to be heard and to build their own solutions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It helps people spot unhelpful patterns and try small experiments to change how they respond to stress, anxiety or low mood.

Mindfulness therapy introduces simple practices to increase awareness of the moment and reduce automatic reactivity. These techniques can be useful for regulation of emotions and managing panic or chronic worry.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with each person and decide together what feels most helpful. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust methods if something does not fit.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it simpler to fit therapy into busy days, cut travel time and allow shorter check-ins or longer appointments depending on need. Many people find it easier to keep continuity of care when scheduling around work or family commitments.
