Welcome to Mia M Counselling and Therapy! I am here for you. Don't be alone with your challenges. Help is available at your own home and at a time that suits you best. I live in the UK but I offer my online services globally. Discounts available. Ask more during the free consultation.

QUALIFICATIONS AND ACCREDITATIONS: 

I am a dedicated Counsellor, Psychotherapist, Cognitive behaviour therapist and Hypnotherapist. I am an accredited member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (MNCPS Accred.), a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP), an accredited member of the National Hypnotherapy Society (MHS Accred.), UK and I have professional insurance. I hold a PhD in Behavioural Sciences -Education major (non-medical doctorate).

ABOUT MY SERVICES:

I run my private practice "Mia M Counselling and Therapy". I provide confidential and effective services in Counselling, Integrative Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavioural Therapy (REBT), Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy (CBH), and CBT-based mentoring/coaching; on Skype, Zoom, Duo, WhatsApp and by phone. Online therapy is a very flexible option as you can get services in your own home or in a location where you have access to a computer or mobile phone.

Promptly getting help which can be scheduled around other commitments is important when you go through life challenges. As a therapist, I recognise and take this seriously which is why I am offering online sessions at short notice including late evenings. If you can't find suitable time available, contact me and we can arrange a time which suits you best.

Sometimes it may just need a couple of sessions to get you back on track and in other situations, of course, more time may need to be devoted as the best way forward. I offer also single sessions where you can discuss a specific issue. Single sessions are based on CBT-REBT approach. After the session I will give you materials to read and exercises to do to practise what you have learnt during the session. Also hypnotherapy single sessions available but I recommend usually to book two sessions for hypnotherapy if you haven't had hypnotherapy before so that we have also time to discuss your situation and for me to explain the basics of hypnotherapy.

ABOUT MY APPROACHES: 

I use different psychological approaches and their combinations to ensure the best possible results. For example, REBT -therapy is an effective cognitive behavioural therapy approach that can be used alone or combined with other approaches. I teach relaxation and hypnotherapy techniques to combat stress, helping you to flourish in your life and career. 

I also offer short-term therapy and hypnotherapy options for quitting smoking and other issues suitable for a short-term approach. 

EFFECTIVE PROCESS AND SUPPORT BETWEEN SESSIONS: 

I offer my clients free resources to read and exercises they can do between sessions to gain skills for well-being and permanent change. I am eager to educate my clients about the approaches I use to help them gain transferrable skills and flourish in their lives. The CBT/RECBT approach is evidence-based and aims for the client to gain skills making them their own therapist. 

ABOUT MY PERSONAL BACKGROUND: 

Besides professional qualifications, I have also my own personal experiences of mental health issues in my past. I had some traumatic experiences in my childhood and have experienced an anxiety disorder and depression. This has helped me better understand clients’ experiences. I have been given much positive feedback on this from my clients. I have also much work experience outside the therapy room including academia and teacher education.

I am experienced in working with people from different cultural backgrounds.

SUPERVISION AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT: 

I enjoy my work and I am eager to further study and develop my skills to help my clients better. I have regular supervision as mandated by NCS, HS and BACP and I attend various professional training to keep my knowledge and skills up to date and in constant development. 

RESULTS AND CLIENT REVIEWS: 

Results have been excellent. I am described by clients as skilled, warm, approachable, sincere as well as able to challenge clients successfully to work through various challenges. You can find client testimonials on my website:
