About Mika
Mika Felstead is a counsellor registered with NCPS in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with adults on everyday worries and longer standing issues such as stress, anxiety, grief and family concerns. Mika also supports people dealing with anger, relationship problems, addictions and changes like divorce or bereavement.
Mika uses a pluralistic approach, which means sessions are shaped around what the client brings. She listens first and then offers different ways of working so people can try what fits them. Sessions move at the client’s pace and focus on practical steps as well as how a person feels about their situation.
Mindfulness is available when it suits the client, used to help reduce reactivity and manage stress in tense moments. Solution-focused techniques are used to set small, achievable goals and track progress between sessions. Client-Centred principles guide the way conversations are held, putting the person's concerns at the centre.
Mika keeps up with ongoing professional development and meets regularly with supervision. She follows the NCPS code of ethics and aims to respond to messages within 24 hours on weekdays, with replies to weekend messages sent on Monday. Session times can be adjusted where needed to fit into a client's life.
To begin, clients use the site to complete a short questionnaire and then schedule a first appointment. The initial steps are straightforward and designed to help people settle into therapy at their own pace.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Mika draws on client-centred work and solution-focused techniques in online sessions. Client-centred work means the conversation follows what matters to the client and helps them speak about difficult feelings. Solution-focused techniques focus on small practical steps and clear goals to make day-to-day life easier.She also uses mindfulness exercises when helpful to reduce reactivity and bring awareness to bodily sensations and breathing. These short practices can be used between meetings to manage moments of anger or anxiety and help people respond rather than react.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Mika will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try, based on their goals and what feels useful. This means plans can change as progress is made or different challenges arise.
Session formats are not specified in the original profile, so confirm current options before booking.
