Michael Nkeng, BACP

Michael Nkeng is a BACP counsellor with eight years of experience working in the United Kingdom. He helps people with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, anger, sleep and eating problems, and concerns around self-esteem and ADHD. Michael’s work also covers career questions, coping with life changes, and obsessive or compulsive behaviours.

Michael adopts straightforward, practical approaches in sessions. He uses methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice patterns, test new ways of responding, and practice calmer habits. Sessions move at a steady pace and focus on what the person wants to change in day-to-day life.

He treats anger as one part of a wider picture. That might mean looking at stress and sleep, tracing how thoughts and triggers lead to snapping at people, and building alternative skills for expressing frustration. Work on communication problems and control issues is often practical and skills-based, with repeated in-room practice and reflection.

Michael frames the client as the expert in their own experience. He asks direct questions, offers clear explanations of techniques, and sets small tasks between sessions. Mindfulness practices are short and concrete, intended to fit into a busy week rather than take a lot of time.

People who choose him can expect a collaborative approach that combines evidence-informed methods and plain spoken guidance. For someone wanting to manage temper, reduce reactivity, or improve communication, he aims to make strategies usable in everyday moments.
