About Mika
Mika has worked in counselling for five years and holds NCPS registration. She uses a pluralistic approach, which means sessions follow what the client brings and combine different ways of working. This keeps sessions tailored to each person rather than following a fixed script.
In sessions she may introduce mindfulness to help reduce immediate stress and improve calm. She also uses elements of client-centred and solution-focused work to focus on what matters most now. Conversations are paced to suit the client and practical steps are agreed together.
Mika often supports people dealing with grief and bereavement, including the loss of a pet, as well as those coping with relationship problems, parenting strains, addiction concerns and issues around self-esteem. She also works with people managing change at work or in their personal life.
She follows the NCPS code of ethics and keeps up with continuing professional development and supervision. Messaging responses are usually within 24 hours on weekdays, with replies to weekend messages sent on Monday. To begin a course of work clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How Mika’s approaches translate to online work
Client-centred work focuses on your priorities and views you as the expert on your life. Online sessions using this approach let the counsellor follow your lead, listen closely and reflect back what matters most to you, which helps when navigating life changes or relationship stresses.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness and breathing exercises to reduce stress in the moment. Delivered online, these techniques can be practised during a session and then repeated by the client between meetings to ease anxiety and improve sleep or focus.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and is worked out together. The counsellor will discuss what feels useful, try different ways of working and adjust methods based on your goals and comfort. This collaborative stance helps tailor sessions to practical needs and personal preferences.
Session formats are not specified in this biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allowing shorter check-ins, quieter conversation times or appointments that avoid travel. Many people appreciate the convenience of scheduling around work or family routines while still working through grief, stress or midlife concerns.
