About Mika

Mika Felstead is a counsellor registered with the NCPS (National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society) in the United Kingdom and has five years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, family conflict, grief and loss, and other life changes. Mika also supports people dealing with self-esteem issues, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, sleep and eating difficulties, anger, career questions, ADHD and compassion fatigue.

Mika practises in a pluralistic way, which means sessions are shaped around what the client brings. She listens without judging and adapts methods to suit each person's needs. Sessions can include mindful exercises when helpful, especially for managing tension and staying calm in stressful moments.

She describes regular supervision and ongoing continuing professional development as part of her working practice. Messages are usually replied to within 24 hours on weekdays, with weekend messages answered on Monday. Mika offers flexibility in scheduling so session times can change to fit someone’s routine.

In conversation she focuses on clear, practical steps rather than jargon. Clients can expect the counsellor to help them talk through difficult feelings, look at coping strategies, and try different ways of working to move forward at a comfortable pace.

For people wondering where to begin after a major life change, Mika aims to help clarify what matters next and to work through the immediate problems that make day-to-day life harder. To start, readers are asked to use the site's matching process and schedule a first session.

How Mika uses therapeutic approaches online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the client's perspective. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflecting concerns back and helping them name what matters. This approach can help with feelings of isolation, low self-esteem and relationship problems.

Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and manage stress. It can be useful for anxiety, sleep difficulties and staying calmer during upsetting moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Mika will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then suggest methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made as sessions progress.

The biography does not list which online session formats are offered, so confirm available options before booking. Many people choose online work because it makes fitting sessions into a busy week easier, allows shorter check-ins when needed, and can remove travel time. Mika also notes flexibility in scheduling so session times can be changed to suit a client's routine.
