Mika Felstead helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and family tensions. She is gentle and non-judgemental, and aims to make sessions straightforward and practical for worried parents reading on a phone. Mika's first priority is understanding what you want to bring to each session and working at your pace.

Mika is a member of the NCPS, which she follows in her professional practice. She has five years of experience supporting people through life changes, bereavement including pet loss, day-to-day worries, and strains that affect relationships and self-esteem.

Background and approach

She also offers help with addiction, sleep and eating concerns, and challenges linked to trauma, intimacy and bipolar mood difficulties. Her way of working is flexible and tailored. Sessions focus on what the client needs, whether that means listening, reflecting, or trying short exercises together.

Mindfulness is offered when helpful as a simple tool to reduce stress and ground attention. Mika describes herself as pluralistic, which means she adapts methods to suit each person rather than following one fixed approach. She keeps session times flexible to fit around family life or changing schedules.

Messages are usually answered within 24 hours and weekend messages are replied to on Monday. She keeps her skills up to date through continuing professional development and regular supervision. Mika welcomes people who want a steady, practical way to work through problems and build clearer coping strategies.

How Mika’s approaches work online

Mika uses client-centred work to place the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. That means she listens closely, follows what you bring, and helps you decide the topics to focus on. This approach is useful for people who need a calm, respectful space to sort out worries.

She also uses mindfulness as a practical tool to reduce stress and steady attention. Mindfulness exercises taught in sessions can be short and easy to repeat between appointments, helping with anxiety, sleep or overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy. Mika will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative, so plans can change as needs evolve and progress is reviewed together.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls help keep visual connection, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when movement is needed, while live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins or when writing feels more helpful. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
