Practical support for stress, anxiety and change
About Michael
Michael Nkeng helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, trauma and depression. He also supports concerns such as sleep and eating difficulties, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD and career or life-purpose questions. Michael uses straightforward language and a practical focus to help people make changes that matter.
Michael works from the view that clients know their story best. He listens for strengths and builds on what is already working.
Background and approach
Sessions are aimed at clear goals and small steps that can be tried between meetings. His approach draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and mindfulness methods. That means he helps people spot unhelpful thoughts, understand emotional patterns in relationships, and practise attention skills that reduce reactivity.
Methods are chosen to suit each person rather than following a single formula. Over eight years of practice have given him experience with a broad range of difficulties, including obsessive or compulsive patterns, panic, control issues and trouble communicating. He aims to make therapy feel practical and manageable, not overwhelming.
People are invited to work at a pace that feels right for them. Michael encourages openness about goals and checks progress along the way so plans can be adjusted as needed.

Sessions & fees
Approaches that work well online and in sessions
CBT helps people identify thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and then try different ways of thinking or acting. It is useful for anxiety, panic, obsessive thinking and mood problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at emotional patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect behaviour; it can help when feelings and communication keep causing pain.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk about goals, try methods with the client, and adapt plans as needed. Decisions are collaborative so the approach fits the person's needs and preferences rather than being fixed up front.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options give flexibility for different schedules and practical needs while keeping the focus on making steady progress.
