About Michael
Michael Nkeng supports people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and low mood. He also helps with family concerns, eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, career questions, ADHD and coping with big life changes. Michael introduces straightforward methods to help people get through hard moments and make small practical changes.
Michael draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in his work. He treats sessions as collaborative conversations. He listens to what matters to each person and then talks through simple steps to try between meetings. Sessions focus on what is realistic and useful in day-to-day life.
He brings eight years of professional experience to his practice and holds BACP accreditation. Michael emphasises building on each person’s strengths rather than starting from labels. He aims to make the process feel manageable, even when problems are longstanding.
People can expect clear explanations about why a strategy might help, followed by practical suggestions, skill practice and reflections on what did and did not work. The work can include skills for managing panic and anxiety, habits around sleep and eating, and ways to improve communication and self-regard.
Michael encourages anyone curious about therapy to take a small first step. Conversations begin with what matters most now and then shape the next steps together.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. Online work can include structured exercises, thought records and small behavioural tasks to try between sessions, which can help with anxiety, panic and low mood.Emotionally-Focused Therapy centres on understanding patterns in emotional responses and improving how people connect with their feelings and needs. This approach can support work on relationship patterns, communication problems and building self-love through guided conversations and reflective exercises.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and will adapt the plan as progress is made. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
The practical benefits of online work include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and fewer travel demands. Online sessions can allow shorter check-ins when that suits someone, or longer sessions when more time is needed.
