About Michael
Michael Iffil BACP counsellor has 15 years of experience working with adults in the United Kingdom. He focuses on stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. His work also covers addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, career questions and life purpose.
Michael uses a straightforward, person-centred approach alongside cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness practices. He views clients as experts in their own lives and helps them notice patterns that get in the way. Sessions aim to be practical and focused on what matters now rather than long theoretical discussions.
In sessions he often looks at unhelpful thought patterns and how they affect feelings and behaviour. He teaches simple mindfulness exercises to reduce overwhelm and supports small, realistic changes that build confidence. He also addresses communication problems and attachment-related issues that affect relationships and decision-making.
Michael has worked across many settings during his 15 years in practice. That experience informs a pragmatic style that balances reflection with action. He supports people dealing with addiction, panic and phobias, and those wrestling with feelings of emptiness or isolation.
For people unsure of what comes next, Michael helps identify values and practical steps forward. He encourages clients to try approaches in the room and review what works. To begin a process he asks people to select the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How Michael applies person-centred, CBT and mindfulness online
Michael blends Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Mindfulness in ways that fit the person’s needs. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients can make sense of their experience and decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviours, offering practical ways to test new ways of thinking and acting. Mindfulness Therapy teaches short attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and improve presence.Finding the right blend is part of the work. Michael will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide which ideas to try and review how those ideas land in everyday life. The approach is collaborative and adjusted as progress is reviewed.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy week by avoiding travel and making it easier to schedule a shorter check-in or a longer hour when convenient. They also allow focusing on skills practice and homework between sessions so work continues outside the appointment.
