About Mahin

Mahin Hamidi is an integrative counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, working in the United Kingdom. She blends different counselling ideas to match each person's needs. Her aim is to offer clear, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by anger, stress, anxiety and life changes.

She uses straightforward conversations to help people understand their feelings and behaviours. Sessions focus on what matters now - like managing anger, coping with grief, or dealing with relationship and intimacy concerns. She also supports people facing trauma, addiction or issues around self-esteem and body image.

Mahin draws on several approaches to tailor her work. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns. Attachment-based ideas look at early relationships and how they shape current connections. Client-centred work keeps the session focused on the person’s priorities and pace.

Her background includes five years of practice with a range of concerns, including autism, ADHD, dissociation and abandonment experiences. She aims to help people recognise strengths they already have and use them to make gradual changes. The therapist frames progress as practical steps rather than immediate fixes.

People who prefer calm, collaborative sessions that focus on day-to-day coping often find this style helpful. To start, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability. The subscription model used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choosing actions that match your values. It can help with anger, anxiety and coping with life changes by building acceptance alongside practical steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, low mood and anger management. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how earlier relationships shape current reactions and helps people change patterns in close relationships by building new ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist works together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration means the plan can change as needs become clearer.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caring duties or travel, and it can reduce time spent on transit. It also makes it possible to use shorter check-ins or non-video contacts when that helps someone focus or manage energy levels. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists who use ACT and CBT, often find these practical arrangements help people maintain steady progress without upending daily life.
