About Mika

Mika Felstead welcomes people who are carrying heavy worries and life changes. She offers calm, non-judgemental support for stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain and everyday problems. Mika introduces simple, practical ways to begin feeling steadier and more able to cope.

Mika has five years of professional experience and holds NCPS, which she follows in her ethical practice. She describes her work as pluralistic - each session focuses on what the client brings and the methods that fit them. Sessions move at the client’s pace and aim to be respectful and sensitive.

She often uses Client-Centred Therapy ideas, which mean listening carefully and helping people find their own answers. Mika also draws on mindfulness to manage stress and Solution-Focused steps to set small, achievable goals. Existential themes come through when people want to examine meaning and life direction.

Mika mentions flexibility around appointment times so sessions can fit day-to-day life. She keeps up with continuing professional development and regular supervision. Messages are usually answered within 24 hours on weekdays, with weekend replies sent on Monday.

To start, Mika asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to her availability. She aims to create a steady, compassionate space where clients can talk things through and work toward clearer next steps.

How Mika's approaches work for online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful, non-judgemental relationship. It helps people feel heard and supports them to find their own solutions to problems like anxiety, grief or low self-esteem.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and manage overwhelming feelings. These exercises can be used between sessions to help with sleep, worry and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Mika uses a collaborative style - she will listen to your goals, discuss different ways of working and tailor sessions to suit your needs and preferences. This aims to make each session practical and relevant to your situation.

Many people find online therapy easier to fit into busy lives because it reduces travel time and allows more flexible scheduling. If you plan to try sessions remotely, confirm the exact session formats before booking so you know what to expect. Online sessions can make it simpler to keep momentum between appointments and to use mindfulness or short exercises as part of ongoing coping strategies.
