About Mika
Mika Felstead is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on helping people manage anxiety and everyday worries. She approaches sessions with kindness and respect and aims to create a calm space for people to talk about what matters to them. Mika’s style is flexible so sessions can fit around a person’s life and needs.
Mika has five years of professional experience and is a member of the NCPS, the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society.
Background and approach
She keeps her skills up to date through continuing professional development and regular supervision. She describes her work as pluralistic, meaning each session is shaped around the individual and what they want to bring. That can include listening and talking through problems, trying practical steps to move forward, or short mindfulness exercises to reduce stress in the moment.
Mika has supported people with grief and loss, including pet bereavement, family conflict and coping with life changes. She also works with concerns such as low self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, sleep and eating difficulties, and compassion fatigue. Sessions can be paced to suit each person.
Mika aims to respond to messages within 24 hours during the working week and replies to weekend messages on Monday. She encourages anyone taking a first step towards therapy to acknowledge that courage and reach out when they feel ready.
Approaches you can use online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters to the person. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so people can make sense of their feelings and find their own solutions. This approach is helpful for anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship concerns.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple, practical exercises to help calm the body and mind. These techniques can be used during stressful moments, to improve sleep, or to reduce repetitive worrying. Mindfulness suits people who want short skills to manage day to day stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mika will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try, adjusting what they do based on needs, goals and personal preference. Sessions are shaped together rather than imposed from the start.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people see facial cues and build rapport when meeting remotely. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging can fit into busy days and allow reflection between messages. These formats make it easier to book sessions around work, caring commitments and daily life.
