About Michael
BACP counsellor Michael Iffil has 15 years of experience in the United Kingdom. He focuses on stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem, depression and life changes, and works with additional issues such as addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief and career questions. He practises client-centred methods alongside cognitive behavioural and mindfulness-informed approaches.
Michael uses a straightforward, person-focused way of working. He treats the person as the expert on their story and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions typically involve talking through current problems, noticing patterns of thinking and behaviour, and practising clearer ways of responding to stress and emotions.
He commonly helps people manage panic, phobias and mood difficulties by combining practical thinking tools with mindfulness techniques. For relationship or communication problems he works on skills such as clearer expression and managing conflict responses. With addiction and substance concerns, he focuses on coping strategies and recognising triggers.
Michael also supports people facing life transitions, identity or multicultural questions, fatherhood issues and feelings of isolation or emptiness. He adapts elements of client-centred, cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness to match what a person prefers and needs.
Sessions are offered in English and Michael accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says so they can make their own sense of difficult experiences. It helps when someone needs space to be heard and to build confidence in their decisions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical exercises and thinking tools that are useful for anxiety, panic, phobias and mood problems.
Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve concentration. It is often paired with CBT tools to help people manage stress and stay grounded in difficult moments.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and day-to-day needs and then try methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as sessions progress.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can use remote sessions to maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult, while tailoring exercises and homework to everyday routines.
