Hayriye Mut, BACP

Hayriye Mut is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties and trauma. She also helps with depression, grief, sleeping problems, self-esteem and career concerns. Hayriye works in English and Turkish and brings five years of professional experience to her practice.

In sessions she aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where clients can talk freely about difficult feelings. She encourages people to take small, practical steps and to find ways of coping that fit their daily life. The focus is on helping clients feel more able to make choices that lead to a more satisfying life.

Her background includes work with trauma and abuse, and she draws on approaches that look at attachment patterns, thoughts and recurring relationship dynamics. She uses methods from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and psychodynamic ideas to help identify unhelpful patterns and try different ways of thinking and behaving.

Hayriye also uses trauma-focused approaches when past events continue to cause distress, and she looks at how early experiences shape current relationships. Practical techniques are combined with space to reflect on emotions and history so people can better understand themselves.

People interested in exploring midlife changes, coping with major life transitions or navigating long-standing relationship issues may find her approach useful. To begin, readers should use the site matching process to see if she may be a fit.

How these approaches work online and what to expect

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape present patterns. It helps people understand why they may struggle with closeness, trust and recurring relationship problems, and supports new ways of relating.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical strategies to manage anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits by testing new behaviours and changing thinking styles.

Psychodynamic therapy explores recurring themes and emotional patterns that come from past experience. It gives space to reflect on how earlier life events influence current choices and relationships.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Hayriye will work with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. This is done collaboratively, with regular check-ins to see what is helping and what needs adjusting.

For practicalities, the original biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people choose quieter times and settings that suit them without changing other commitments.
