Mahalia is a very kind and thoughtful therapist who takes the time to remember and recognise patterns in myself that I cannot see because I’m standing too close to them. I find this a very helpful and supportive skill.
More about Mahalia

Sometimes we need space to feel heard, sometimes we need space to think and be present with ourselves. I am non-judgemental regardless of my own values and beliefs. As your therapist I will accept you for who you are and meet you with empathy. I will be with you in your chaos, in your binding and I will be patient with your process. With a person-centred approach I welcome people from all walks of life providing empathy, honesty, and unconditional positive regard.
My aim as a therapist is to provide a safe, accepting, non - judgemental therapeutic relationship in which I will help you explore and make sense of what you need to. I believe each person experiences different realities due to their perceptions of the world; I find this to be the beauty of uniqueness.
I have completed an undergraduate degree in psychology, a masters in Person-centred experiential counselling and psychotherapy practice and I am a current doctoral student in counselling psychology.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

She a thoughtful lisner and always tries to understand where you are coming from. She help me find the courage to open up to people I care about and not let fear get in the way.
Mahalia is a very kind and thoughtful therapist who takes the time to remember and recognise patterns in myself that I cannot see because I’m standing too close to them. I find this a very helpful and supportive skill.
Only had one session but it was very useful and actually a breath of fresh air from other therapies I have tried
A lovely therapist!
Amazing, incredible, wonder woman! What else can I say?
Mahalia is an outstanding therapist. She creates a safe, supportive environment and offers insightful, compassionate guidance. I'd highly recommend her to anyone seeking effective and empathetic support.
Mahalia is by far the best therapist I have ever had. I find the words to express how much she has helped me and continues too. I adore her! 10/10 would recommend!
Mahalia is an incredible therapist, she is always attentive and understands my concerns, I never feel judged and always feel listened to! I always get an immense boost in serotonin and feel great after our sessions. Would hugely recommend!
Mahalia has been absolutely fantastic these past few months. She makes me feel seen and understood and knows exactly what to say to whatever you throw at her. Would and have recommended both her and BetterHelp.
Mahalia has been brilliant so far as I'm going through a break up. I've messed up with my own actions and it was difficult to process them. Mahalia has allowed that processing to go ahead and I've already learnt a lot about myself in the 2 sessions together.
Mahalia is lovely to talk to. She has been supportive throughout. I look forward to the sessions with her
Absolutely a breath of fresh air to talk freely and in confidence.
Mahalia has always been understanding as supportive in our sessions. Her approach to the sessions has allowed me to be very open and explore my feelings with her. I feel she's has helped me find the tools that will support me in the future.
A truly wonderful person. Caring, kind and extremely intelligent. Thank you so much for all you've done so far, Mahalia ❤️
Wonderful chat
Mahalia has been nothing but great! From our first session, I felt safe and comfortable opening up about my traumas and issues. I always feel comfortable speaking to Mahalia and appreciate the support and advice she gives me to help upkeep my well-being and mental health
She’s been amazing. In the short time I’ve known her she’s been such a massive help
After a year of trying different methods, self-help books and therapists (even at private clinics) I felt such a strong relief working with Mahalia! I am amazed at how well she understands me and really offers the right input and guidance for me to think about. She asks questions that help me understand and process events despite how complex and long-ranging the situation is. While I think it takes some self-honesty of the patient too, Mahalia made it easy for me to be open about my thoughts and feelings, which should be hard as I am very repressed. Would recommend to family and friends without hesitation.
