About Mika

Mika Felstead is a counsellor who helps people who are worrying about sleep, stress, grief or family tensions. She works with everyday anxieties, low mood, relationship difficulties and the practical knock‑on effects of these problems. Mika keeps sessions straightforward and compassionate so people can talk without feeling judged.

Mika has five years of professional practice and holds NCPS as her listed credential. She follows a pluralistic way of working, which means the session is shaped around what the client brings each week. That might mean talking things through, trying brief goal-focused tasks, or using simple mindfulness exercises to calm the mind.

Sessions are paced to suit the person. Mika aims to help clients make small, manageable changes rather than rushing into big shifts. She is willing to change the format or timing of sessions when needed so therapy fits around work, family and other commitments.

Mika also draws on solution-focused ideas to set practical steps between appointments. She uses mindfulness skills when helpful to reduce stress and improve rest. Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including trauma, grief, addictions, ADHD and issues around identity and intimacy.

She is a member of the NCPS and follows its code of ethics, and she takes part in continuing professional development and regular supervision. Mika aims to reply to messages within 24 hours on working days and responds to weekend messages on Monday.

How Mika's approaches translate to online therapy

Mika works in a client-centred, pluralistic way which means sessions focus on what the person brings each week and adapt as needed. Client-centred therapy emphasises listening and responding to the client's priorities, helping people feel heard and understood during sessions.

She also uses mindfulness techniques to help calm the body and mind, teaching short exercises that can be practised between meetings to reduce stress and support better rest. Solution-focused ideas are used to set clear, practical steps and small goals to build on progress week by week.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Mika will discuss what is most helpful and try different ways of working until a good fit is found, tailoring the plan to a person's needs, goals and preferences.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can help fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel, offering more flexible timings and enabling shorter check-ins when that suits a person's schedule. It also makes it easy to practise mindfulness exercises between meetings and to keep momentum with regular, goal-focused steps.
