About Michael
Michael Iffil is a counsellor who works from a client-centred approach, meeting people where they are and following their lead. He holds BACP accreditation, and he brings 15 years of professional experience to his work in the United Kingdom. He speaks English and supports international clients.
In sessions he focuses on practical concerns such as stress, anxiety, anger and low self-esteem. He also helps people facing depression, addictions, phobias, grief and major life changes. Relationship and family problems, career doubts and issues like abandonment or attachment worries are part of his caseload.
His style blends Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness techniques. That means sessions can involve listening deeply, looking at thoughts and behaviours, and trying simple mindfulness exercises. He aims to use the mix that best fits each person rather than one fixed method.
Michael describes people as the experts in their own lives and builds on their strengths. Conversations are intended to be straightforward and focused on small, achievable steps. He aims to support people as they move toward clearer purpose and more stable day-to-day coping.
Practical matters are kept simple: sessions sit within a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed before scheduling. This helps match needs and availability so people can plan the next step.
How Client-Centred, CBT and Mindfulness work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening carefully and following the person’s pace. The counsellor aims to reflect what matters to the client and help them make sense of their own experience. This approach is useful for people who need a calm, accepting space to talk things through.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviours interact. It uses simple exercises and practical strategies to test unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of coping. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic and low mood because it emphasises clear steps and practice.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches short practices to bring attention to the present moment. These techniques can reduce overwhelm and help with stress, rumination and emotional regulation when used alongside talking therapy.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and together they will decide what to try. That collaborative process can change over time as needs shift.
