Mika Felstead
Person-centred counsellor for life changes
About Mika
Mika Felstead is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who aims to help people manage everyday worries and difficult life moments. She focuses on practical, person-led work for issues such as stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem and relationship concerns. Mika uses simple, clear approaches so people feel heard and understood from the first session.
She takes a pluralistic, client-centred way of working. That means sessions are shaped around what the person brings and what they want to focus on.
Background and approach
Mika listens without judgement and helps people try different ways of making small changes. Sessions move at the client's pace and reflect real life pressures. Mika also uses mindfulness to help people stay calm in stressful moments.
She draws on solution-focused ideas too, helping people identify steps that feel manageable and make a difference quickly. These methods can suit people coping with bereavement, parenting strain, work stress, and other life changes. She holds NCPS as a credential and follows the organisation's code of ethics.
Mika keeps her skills up to date through continuing professional development and regular supervision. Messages are usually answered within 24 hours on weekdays, with weekend messages replied to on Monday. Her practice offers flexibility in scheduling so appointments can fit around changing routines.
Mika encourages anyone who feels ready to begin the process to take that first step and arrange a match and session time.

Approaches and online support that fit your life
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what they hear and follows the client's lead to help people feel understood and clearer about next steps. This approach is useful when someone needs space to talk through difficult feelings and decide what matters most.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple practices to help reduce reactivity and increase attention to the present moment. People often use mindfulness to manage stress, anxiety and sleeplessness by learning short exercises they can use during busy days.
Finding the right way of working is part of the journey. Mika will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches to try and will adjust methods based on goals, needs and preferences. This means sessions are shaped together rather than imposed.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy or changing schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is helpful, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins, journalling-style updates or times when writing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent and to try different formats until the best fit is found.
