I am an accredited Counsellor in the UK with 5 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with family conflicts, coping with grief and loss, & coping with life changes, as well as day to day worries. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
I am a Pluralistic counsellor, which means each session is all about you and what you want to bring to it, and then finding different ways of working to help move forward. We will work through the challenges you are facing at your pace and in a safe and confidential environment. I am here to listen not to judge.
I am a member of the NCPS and I abide their code of ethics. I am also committed to CPD (Continuing Professional Development and have regular supervision.
Any messages received I will try my best to respond to in 24 hours. Any messages sent at a weekend I will reply to on Monday.
Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage, well done for taking that first step.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Really helpful therapist, kind gentle manner, offers good advice, listens well with empathy. Helps me think about things in a different way. Very supportive therapist.
Very good
Mika is brilliant! She pushes me just hard enough to safely move me from my comfort zone without ever feeling that it's too far. She has all sorts of tools ready to share, an ability to link the dots in what you might consider throw away sentences and has such a warm personality which makes me feel safe and never judged. I'd highly recommend her!
Perfect so far. Going through some big life altering stuff and Mika is ideal for just letting me rattle away and suggesting helpful techniques and ideas when needed.
I really have enjoyed working with Mika She's given me a new outlook on ways a d is slowly training me to think about things through a healthier perspective. I couldn't ask more from a therapist.
Mika immediately put me at ease and let me set the pace for our conversation. She is warm and friendly and offers gentle encouragement. I feel unburdened after each call and look forward to the next. I highly recommend anyone who wants a personal touch
