About Michael
Michael Iffil is a counsellor who uses a blend of client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness to help people feel steadier. He has worked in the United Kingdom for 15 years and focuses on practical steps people can use day to day. He offers sessions in English and accepts clients internationally.
Michael spends sessions listening first and then working with clients to try things that might reduce distress. He helps with stress, anxiety, low mood and anger by breaking problems into smaller parts.
Background and approach
Panic attacks, phobias and addictions are also areas he addresses with clear strategies and supportive conversation. He often combines client-centred methods with cognitive behavioural ideas to challenge unhelpful thinking and test out new behaviours. Mindfulness work is used to build calm and attention skills that people can practise between sessions.
The emphasis is on simple, repeatable tools rather than complex theory. Michael also supports people facing relationship strain, communication problems and issues around attachment or abandonment fears. He will help someone explore what matters most to them and set realistic steps towards change.
Fatherhood issues, career decisions and grief are included in his experience. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
To begin, a person uses the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and books a time to suit them.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist offers acceptance and reflection so people feel heard and can explore their own solutions; this approach helps when someone needs to make sense of strong emotions or life changes.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings and actions. It teaches practical exercises to challenge unhelpful thinking and to try new behaviours, which can be useful for anxiety, panic and phobias.
Mindfulness Therapy trains attention and calm through simple practices. It supports people who want tools to manage stress or reduce reactivity in daily life.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped before, then agree a plan together. This collaborative decision can include trying different techniques to see what fits best.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from different places, phone sessions can be quieter and use less bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or days when writing feels easier. These options give flexibility while keeping the focus on practical steps and what the client wants to achieve.
