About Michael
Michael Iffil offers a calm, person-focused approach to therapy. He uses Client-Centred methods alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques to help people tackle everyday struggles. Michael has 15 years of experience and practices from the United Kingdom.
He speaks English and accepts international clients. Michael focuses on clear, practical support for stress, anxiety, anger and low self-esteem. He also helps with depression, addictions, panic, phobias and grief.
Sessions aim to identify small, manageable steps so people can feel steadier in daily life.
How Michael works
His way of working centres on listening first and then trying different approaches together. Client-Centred Therapy means the conversation follows the person's concerns and values. CBT adds ways to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.
Mindfulness helps people learn to be present and reduce overwhelm. Michael draws on 15 years of practice to match tools to each situation. He pays attention to attachment and relationship patterns, feelings of emptiness, commitment worries and communication problems.
He also supports people dealing with fatherhood issues, multicultural concerns, and career or life-purpose questions. Sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging. Costs vary with location and a subscription billing model is used that can be cancelled at any time.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled through the Start Therapy flow.

Practical approaches for online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy is based on listening closely and following what matters to the person. It helps people feel understood and safe to talk about personal worries. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and habits and trying alternative ways of thinking and acting. It can be useful for anxiety, panic, phobias and mood problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention exercises that reduce reactivity and help with stress and cravings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Decisions about techniques are made together and can change over time as needs evolve.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more convenient. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation from wherever they are. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break more easily. Live chat and messaging are useful for short check-ins or when writing helps the person express themselves. These options make it easier to keep continuity and pace the work in ways that suit everyday life.
