Michael Iffil

Michael Iffil is a counsellor with 15 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. He uses a person-centred outlook to help people make sense of strong feelings and difficult situations. He listens without judgement and aims to create a straightforward space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, anger and low self-esteem.

He blends Client-Centred Therapy with cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness practices. That mix lets him work practically on unhelpful thought patterns while also holding a respectful, empathetic stance. The approach is adapted to each person rather than being the same for everyone.

Michael has a history of supporting people through depression, phobias, grief and life changes. He also works with addiction concerns and relationship and family difficulties, including issues around fatherhood, commitment and communication. He emphasises strengths and small steps that build confidence over time.

He holds BACP, which is listed as his credential. He accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. Fees vary by location and the service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

To begin, people are asked to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. Michael aims to help people find clearer ways to cope and move forward at a manageable pace.

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, understanding and reflecting back what a person says. Online sessions using this approach still centre the person’s story and priorities, helping people feel heard and supported. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it can help with anxiety, panic and anger by teaching manageable coping steps. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and improve focus in everyday moments.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Michael will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person's needs, goals and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting as progress is made.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find that remote sessions help them maintain consistency while they balance work, family and other commitments.
