Mika Felstead, NCPS

Mika Felstead is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on everyday worries and thought patterns. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, family conflict and changes in life. Mika aims to make sessions straightforward and supportive for anyone feeling overwhelmed by day-to-day pressures.

Mika practises in a pluralistic way, which means sessions are shaped by what each person wants to bring. She listens without judgement and explores different ways of working to help people move forward at their own pace. Sessions can include mindfulness techniques when helpful to manage tension in the moment.

She has five years of professional experience and is a member of the NCPS. Mika follows the NCPS code of ethics and keeps her skills current through continuing professional development and regular supervision. That background informs a steady, practical approach in the room.

Mika is flexible about appointment times to fit with people's lives, and she aims to respond to messages within 24 hours on weekdays. Messages received at the weekend are replied to on Monday. She encourages people to take the first step and complete the initial matching process to begin scheduling sessions.

In session Mika uses plain language and short-term tools alongside reflective conversation. She helps people notice unhelpful patterns of thinking and habit, and then try small, manageable changes. The emphasis is on practical support that fits into everyday life.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience and priorities. The counsellor listens, reflects and follows what matters most to the client, which helps with low self-esteem, relationship worries and feeling stuck.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily tension without getting swept away by them. It can be useful for stress, anxiety and managing strong feelings day to day.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt techniques over time. This is a collaborative process that starts with your goals and preferences, and changes as you progress.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to choose quieter surroundings that suit you. It can also allow shorter check-ins when that fits your day better. Talk with the counsellor about timing and practical arrangements so sessions match everyday life.
