About Michael

Michael Nkeng offers practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, and low mood. He welcomes conversations about relationship strain, sleep and eating problems, anger, self-esteem and questions about purpose and career. Michael uses straightforward language and a calm approach so people can talk through what matters most to them.

He sees each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on clear, doable steps rather than abstract theory. Michael aims to make time feel useful from the first few meetings so people can notice gradual change. Michael blends Cognitive Behavioural Therapy with emotionally focused work and mindfulness practices.

That mix helps with changing unhelpful thinking, understanding emotional patterns, and learning grounding skills for distressing moments. He tailors these techniques to the problem in front of him rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. Over eight years of practice, Michael has supported people through panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, control issues and difficulties adjusting to life change.

He also works with concerns linked to ADHD and compulsive behaviours. Michael keeps explanations plain and actions practical so people can try things between sessions. Sessions are offered in English and are available to people in the United Kingdom and internationally.

The pathway to starting is simple: complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions that fit into a person’s routine.

How Michael’s approaches work online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life behaviour. It helps with anxiety, panic, compulsions and low mood by teaching practical exercises to try between sessions.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at patterns in how emotions and attachment needs show up in relationships and personal coping. It can help people understand why certain emotional reactions keep repeating and how to respond differently to reduce distress.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices to reduce overwhelm and improve focus. These techniques are useful for stress, trauma-related symptoms and for managing urges linked to addictions or compulsive behaviours.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Michael will discuss a person’s goals, preferences and daily routine and then suggest options. He adjusts the plan as work progresses so therapy stays useful and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video calls suit deeper conversational work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat suit quick check-ins or shorter exercises during the week. These formats give flexibility for people who travel, work irregular hours or prefer not to use video.
