I am an accredited Counsellor in the UK with 5 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with family conflicts, coping with grief and loss, & coping with life changes, as well as day to day worries. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
I am a Pluralistic counsellor, which means each session is all about you and what you want to bring to it, and then finding different ways of working to help move forward. We will work through the challenges you are facing at your pace and in a safe and confidential environment. I am here to listen not to judge.
I am a member of the NCPS and I abide their code of ethics. I am also committed to CPD (Continuing Professional Development and have regular supervision.
Any messages received I will try my best to respond to in 24 hours. Any messages sent at a weekend I will reply to on Monday.
Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage, well done for taking that first step.

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.

Really helpful therapist, kind gentle manner, offers good advice, listens well with empathy. Helps me think about things in a different way. Very supportive therapist.
Very good
Mika is brilliant! She pushes me just hard enough to safely move me from my comfort zone without ever feeling that it's too far. She has all sorts of tools ready to share, an ability to link the dots in what you might consider throw away sentences and has such a warm personality which makes me feel safe and never judged. I'd highly recommend her!
Perfect so far. Going through some big life altering stuff and Mika is ideal for just letting me rattle away and suggesting helpful techniques and ideas when needed.
I really have enjoyed working with Mika She's given me a new outlook on ways a d is slowly training me to think about things through a healthier perspective. I couldn't ask more from a therapist.
Mika immediately put me at ease and let me set the pace for our conversation. She is warm and friendly and offers gentle encouragement. I feel unburdened after each call and look forward to the next. I highly recommend anyone who wants a personal touch
