Mahin Hamidi
A compassionate counsellor for everyday struggles
About Mahin
Mahin Hamidi is a counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has five years' experience helping people untangle difficult feelings and life challenges in the United Kingdom. Mahin focuses on straightforward, steady support and practical steps rather than jargon or quick fixes.
Her practice draws on several therapy approaches to match each person's needs. Sessions often involve talking through painful memories, spotting unhelpful patterns, and trying small experiments to see what changes feel right.
Background and approach
Mahin pays attention to past relationships and attachment patterns to understand current struggles with intimacy or trust. Common concerns she addresses include stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and difficulties with eating or body image. She also supports people dealing with addiction, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD, and the emotional fallout of separation or loss.
Additional areas of focus include abandonment, dissociation, codependency and communication problems. In sessions Mahin aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can name their difficulties and set realistic goals. She uses tools from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside client-centred techniques to help people notice thoughts and feelings, and try new ways of responding.
Work may include reflective conversation, practical exercises and personalised coping strategies. Mahin offers a measured, compassionate approach that values the client's own knowledge of their life. She encourages small, manageable changes and supports people as they build more satisfying patterns and relationships.

How Mahin’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It often involves identifying values and trying small actions that move life in the chosen direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns. These tools can help with anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns from past relationships and how they influence current trust and intimacy. It supports people who want to understand why they react strongly in close relationships and to build different ways of relating.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaboration. Mahin will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with each person and agree on a plan together. That way therapy can adapt over time if different techniques feel more or less helpful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use non-verbal cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging can suit those who prefer written reflection, need flexible timing, or find it easier to express themselves in text. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caring duties and day-to-day life.
