Hayriye Mut

Hayriye Mut is a BACP counsellor who helps people take the first steps towards change. She works with individuals facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and low mood. She aims to create a straightforward, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through.

Hayriye uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She pairs this with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on noticing and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.

Her background includes five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, noted as BACP. Hayriye offers sessions in English and Turkish.

In sessions she encourages clear, practical steps alongside reflection. That can mean setting small goals, trying new ways of handling stress, or talking through painful past events at a steady pace. The work balances problem-solving with understanding how patterns began.

People who come to Hayriye often want help with parenting stress, sleep problems, grief, or difficulties with intimacy and self-esteem. She also supports those managing long-term issues such as chronic illness, ADHD, or bipolar mood challenges. When needed she can focus on coping strategies for major life changes and burnout.

To begin, clients follow the service sign-up process and schedule based on availability. Hayriye aims to support people toward clearer thinking and more manageable daily life.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Hayriye often uses attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape present difficulties. That approach focuses on patterns in close relationships and can help with trust, intimacy and long-standing interaction styles.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours. CBT is useful for anxiety, mood problems, sleep issues and practical coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then tailor sessions so the approach fits the person's needs. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as progress is made.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as specific formats are set by the service. Online therapy can make it easier to fit talking therapy into a busy life - for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins around work, or letting people choose quieter times that suit them. It can also let someone continue sessions during life changes when attending in person is harder. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, can adapt their approach online to support practical coping skills and deeper emotional work.
