About Mika
Mika Felstead offers straightforward, non-judgemental support for people feeling overwhelmed by life changes, grief, stress or relationship difficulties. She introduces a calm, respectful presence so someone can talk through what matters most and decide on next steps at their own pace. Mika uses a pluralistic approach, which means sessions are shaped around each person's needs and goals.
She starts by listening, then together they choose ways of working that might help - for example short practical steps, reflective conversation, or mindfulness practice.
Background and approach
Her background includes five years of professional work in the United Kingdom and membership of the NCPS, the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society. Mika keeps her skills current through continuing professional development and regular supervision. Practical flexibility is part of her offer.
Sessions can be scheduled at different times and days to fit changing routines, and she aims to reply to messages within 24 hours on weekdays with weekend replies on Monday. In a typical session Mika focuses on clear, manageable goals. She helps people notice patterns, try small experiments between sessions, and build coping tools that suit everyday life.
Conversations are paced to the individual's needs and comfort. Mika also draws on mindfulness when it is useful to reduce stress and improve focus. She supports people through grief, family challenges, addictions, mood concerns, work pressures and other difficulties that make day-to-day life harder.

Approaches Mika lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Mika will talk through what you want to achieve and suggest ways of working that fit your goals and comfort level. Together you can try different methods and adjust them as you learn what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a shorter real-time check-in, and messaging lets people reflect in writing between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and daily life while keeping the focus on practical progress.
