About Mika

Mika Felstead is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, family difficulties, grief, self-esteem problems, depression and related concerns such as addiction and relationship strain. Mika also supports people facing life changes and those coping with isolation or loneliness.

Mika uses a pluralistic approach, which means the session is shaped around what the client brings and what they want to work on. That might include talking things through, trying short practical strategies, or using mindfulness to ease moments of stress. Sessions move at the client’s pace and focus on practical next steps as well as understanding feelings.

She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to listen without judgement and to help people find their own solutions. Existential ideas are used to look at meaning and choices when life feels uncertain. Mindfulness practices are offered when calming techniques are helpful in the moment.

Mika keeps continuity through regular supervision and ongoing professional development. She follows the NCPS code of ethics and aims to reply to messages within 24 hours on weekdays, with weekend messages answered on Monday.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Mika aims to be flexible with appointment days and times so sessions can fit around life commitments.

How her approaches guide online sessions

Mika commonly draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping people find their own answers, which can be helpful for talking through social anxiety, relationship strain and family worries. Mindfulness Therapy offers short practices to reduce reactivity and steady attention during stressful moments.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Mika discusses goals and preferences with each person and decides together which methods to try, adjusting as needed over time. The working relationship is collaborative and practical, with attention to what helps most at each stage.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the current online session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow quieter check-ins during work breaks. Some approaches, such as brief mindfulness exercises or client-centred conversations, adapt well to remote sessions, and Mika aims to schedule appointments at times that suit everyday commitments.
