Michael Nkeng, BACP

Michael Nkeng is licensed in the UK and Ireland and brings seven years of professional experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, and the effects of trauma and abuse. He approaches each person as the expert of their own story, looking for strengths and resources that can be built on to move past what feels limiting or painful.

Michael emphasises practical, compassionate support that meets people where they are. He recognises that choosing therapy takes courage and that change often begins with small steps. In sessions he focuses on empowering clients to explore options, develop coping skills, and create meaningful shifts in everyday life.

Throughout his work Michael draws on evidence-informed approaches to address a wide range of concerns, from depression and sleep difficulties to anger, self-esteem, and life transitions. He also has experience supporting clients with eating and family issues, coping with obsessive thoughts, panic attacks, and challenges related to attention differences.

He holds BACP membership, which indicates alignment with established professional standards for counselling and psychotherapy, and he is committed to offering supportive, respectful care that helps clients move toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.

Integrating Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Michael often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical strategies for reducing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and panic. CBT focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and offers tools for managing distress in everyday situations.

He also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help people improve communication and emotional connection in relationships. EFT supports clients in understanding emotional responses and creating safer patterns of interaction with partners or family members.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Michael works collaboratively with clients to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences. He tailors sessions based on what is most helpful, combining approaches when appropriate so clients feel supported and understood.

Online therapy with Michael is offered by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent care from wherever clients are located and allow registered professionals to adapt session formats to suit practical needs and therapeutic goals.
