Mika Felstead

Mika Felstead is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anger and relationship strain. She keeps sessions focused on what the individual wants to work on. Mika aims to listen without judgement and to offer practical ways forward.

She uses a pluralistic style, which means each session is shaped around the client's needs. That might include talking things through, trying short exercises, or using gentle mindfulness to ease tension. Mika says sessions move at the person's own pace and can change as needs do.

Mika has five years of professional experience and is a member of the NCPS, which she follows for professional standards. She also takes part in regular supervision and continuing professional development to reflect on her work.

Her background includes supporting people with grief and loss, family conflict, coping with life changes, and everyday worries. She also helps with issues such as anxiety, depression, addictions, ADHD, and intimacy-related concerns. Mika notes she can be flexible about scheduling to fit sessions around day-to-day life.

Messages received are usually answered within 24 hours on weekdays, with replies to weekend messages sent on Monday. To begin, a client completes a short questionnaire and then arranges sessions based on the therapist's availability.

Therapeutic approaches and what online counselling can offer

Mika commonly draws on client-centred work and mindfulness in sessions. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead, helping people talk through worries and make choices that feel right to them. Mindfulness involves simple attention exercises and breathing work to help with feelings like anger, anxiety and stress.

She also uses solution-focused ideas, which aim to identify small, practical steps that move things forward. These approaches suit concerns such as coping with life changes, relationship tensions, grief and day-to-day stress. Finding the right mix is part of the work, and Mika will collaborate with each person to decide what feels most useful based on goals and preferences.

Session formats are not listed here, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around home and work life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn't needed. It also means someone can continue their progress even when routines change, while the therapist and client adjust the approach together to meet practical needs.
