About Mika
Mika Felstead is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and family conflict. She works with a wide range of concerns including self-esteem, relationships, addiction, trauma, codependency and managing life changes. Mika presents as calm and non-judgemental and aims to make the first step into therapy easier for people who feel unsure or overwhelmed.
Mika has five years of professional experience and is a member of the NCPS, which she cites alongside ongoing supervision and continuing professional development. She describes her approach as pluralistic, meaning each session follows what the client brings and adapts methods to suit their needs rather than using one fixed model.
In practice she draws on client-centred ways of working to prioritise the person’s perspective and on mindfulness techniques to help reduce immediate stress and reactivity. She may also use solution-focused ideas to help people identify practical next steps and small changes that move things forward.
Mika aims to be flexible with scheduling so sessions can fit around day-to-day life. She responds to messages within 24 hours where possible and replies to weekend messages on Monday. Prospect clients are asked to use the site’s Start Therapy process to complete a short matching questionnaire before arranging sessions.
Her tone is respectful and compassionate, and she emphasises a collaborative pace. People curious about working on parenting strain, attachment or intimacy-related problems can explore whether her way of working matches their needs before booking.
How Mika's approaches work online and in session
Mika uses client-centred and mindfulness approaches alongside solution-focused ideas to adapt sessions to each person's needs. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience first and involves listening, reflecting and helping people notice their own priorities; it is useful for relationship worries, low self-esteem and family concerns. Mindfulness Therapy offers simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and help manage strong emotions in the moment. Solution-Focused Therapy centres on small, practical steps and goals to create movement when life feels stuck and is often used for coping with change or day-to-day problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Mika describes sessions as collaborative - she will help you figure out which methods suit your goals and preferences and will adjust how you work as needs evolve. This means the shape of therapy can change over time as progress and priorities shift.
The practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy week, shorter check-ins when needed, and easier access without travel.
