About Mika

Mika Felstead is a counsellor who aims to help people facing stress, anxiety and family challenges. She offers a calm, non-judgemental presence and listens to what matters to each person. Mika uses simple tools to steady day-to-day worries and to support people through loss and life changes.

Mika has five years of professional experience working with issues such as grief, self-esteem, depression and addictions. She also supports people dealing with relationship difficulties, intimacy concerns, parenting strain and work-related stress. She names ADHD, compassion fatigue and LGBT issues among areas she addresses.

Her way of working is pluralistic, which means sessions are shaped around what the client brings. The counsellor and client agree on practical steps and different ways of working that suit the person. Mindfulness is available when helpful, for calming and managing strong emotions.

Mika is a member of the NCPS, which she follows for ethical practice. She takes part in continuing professional development and has regular supervision to reflect on her work. Messages sent during the week are usually answered within 24 hours, with weekend messages replied to on Monday.

She aims to be flexible with scheduling so sessions can fit around everyday life. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short questionnaire to match with her and arrange sessions according to her availability.

How her therapeutic approaches work online

Mika uses client-centred and mindfulness approaches that translate well to remote sessions. Client-centred work focuses on listening and following the person's pace, helping them voice what matters and decide next steps. Mindfulness involves simple exercises to calm the body and bring attention back to the present, which is useful for anxiety, stress and managing strong feelings.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Mika will discuss goals and preferences and adjust the way of working as sessions progress. Together they decide which methods suit the person's needs and circumstances rather than following a fixed plan.

Please confirm the session formats offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people work in quieter surroundings or choose not to use video if that feels better. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques like mindfulness and client-centred listening to remote sessions so work can continue even when life is busy.
