About Mika
Mika Felstead welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, grief, relationship problems or day-to-day worry. She is described as a counsellor who listens without judgement and adapts sessions to each person's needs. Mika uses practical, person-led conversations to help clients take small steps forward.
She works in a pluralistic way, which means sessions focus on what the client wants to bring. Together they choose helpful techniques and pace the work to suit the individual.
Background and approach
That might mean talking things through, trying short mindfulness exercises, or testing simple strategies to manage difficult moments. Mika has five years of professional experience and is a member of the NCPS. She keeps practising through continuing professional development and regular supervision.
This supports her day-to-day work with issues such as anxiety, depression, addiction and coping with life changes. Clients often come with family tensions, grief and loss, struggles with self-esteem, or worries about parenting and relationships. Mika also offers support around trauma and abuse, intimacy and communication problems, and challenges like burnout and compassion fatigue.
Sessions can be arranged with flexibility so appointment times can fit around a client's life. Mika aims to reply to messages within 24 hours on weekdays and responds to weekend messages on Monday. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How Mika works online
She also draws on solution-focused thinking to identify small, achievable changes that make a day easier. That approach looks for strengths and past successes to create clear next steps. Finding the right mix of methods is a shared task; Mika will work with each client to decide which tools suit their needs and preferences.
If you are considering online therapy, check the session formats available before booking so you know what will be offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around family life or busy work days, and it can reduce travel and preparation time. Some people prefer brief check-ins and others want longer conversations, and Mika aims to be flexible so sessions can fit into everyday routines. Registered or accredited professionals can help tailor the approach as you go along.
