Mika Felstead

Mika Felstead is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on women's issues alongside a wide range of personal concerns. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, family problems and everyday worries. Mika aims to offer a respectful, compassionate space where clients can bring what matters to them and be heard without judgement.

Mika has five years of professional experience and is a member of the NCPS. She follows a pluralistic approach, which means sessions are shaped around each person's needs and preferences rather than a single fixed method. She also uses mindfulness techniques when they suit the client, for managing tension and staying calmer in stressful moments.

In sessions Mika helps people move at their own pace and try different ways of working until something feels useful. She is flexible about timings so appointments can fit around life and commitments. Mika takes ongoing professional development seriously and attends regular supervision as part of her practice.

Messages sent during the working week are usually answered within 24 hours, with weekend messages replied to on Monday. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling according to availability.

Mika describes her role as listening without judgement and supporting people to work through issues such as low self‑esteem, relationship struggles, bereavement, addictions, trauma and coping with life changes.

How Mika's approaches translate to online counselling

Mika uses client‑centred and mindfulness approaches that adapt well to remote work. Client‑centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says so they can find their own solutions; this helps with issues like low self‑esteem, relationship concerns and life changes. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and manage strong emotions, which can be practised between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Mika will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then try methods that suit the person. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted as progress is made or life circumstances change.

The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a routine, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑ins when needed. It can also allow people to use quiet or low‑bandwidth options if that suits them better. Overall, the focus is on finding a way of meeting that fits around everyday life while using the chosen therapeutic approach.
