Mahin Hamidi is a counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, with five years of practice in the United Kingdom. She offers a warm, person-focused way of working and aims to make therapy clear and practical for people who are feeling overwhelmed. Mahin uses straightforward language and invites clients to lead the pace of therapy.

She draws on a mix of approaches to suit different needs, including cognitive behavioural ideas and attachment-informed work.

Background and approach

Sessions are shaped around each person’s story, strengths and goals rather than a fixed formula. The emphasis is on understanding how life events, relationships and personal history affect day-to-day coping. Mahin often helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem.

She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, grief and major life changes, plus struggles with eating, anger and addiction. Additional areas of focus include attachment and abandonment issues, autism and identity questions, dissociation, codependency and intimacy-related problems. In sessions she listens without judgement and helps people notice patterns that hold them back.

Practical tools and small experiments are offered alongside reflective conversation. The aim is to build skills that fit everyday life and to help people feel clearer about their next steps. Therapy with Mahin is available in English and is offered remotely in formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions based on therapist availability.

How Mahin's approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them and then choose actions that match their values; it is often useful for anxiety, depression and problems with motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current relationships and the way people feel safe or disconnected; it can help with intimacy, abandonment worries and communication difficulties. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on offering a non-judgemental, empathetic space so people can explore their experience and build self-understanding at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Mahin will discuss these methods and suggest what might suit a person’s goals, needs and preferences. The choice is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing facial cues matters. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a simpler option for check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging can suit brief check-ins, shorter reflections between sessions or people who prefer writing. These options aim to increase flexibility and access while keeping the focus on practical progress.
