Mahin Hamidi, BACP

Mahin Hamidi is a counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She brings five years of practice in the United Kingdom and focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief and major life changes.

She uses a blend of well‑known approaches to suit each person. Sessions can look at patterns that keep problems going, unmet needs from early relationships, and practical steps to manage difficult feelings. Mahin aims to make therapy straightforward and collaborative so people feel understood and able to try new ways of coping.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns including relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, addictions, eating and body image problems, anger and self‑esteem difficulties. She also supports people facing emptiness, abandonment or attachment struggles and those navigating divorce or separation.

Mahin commonly draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Attachment‑based ideas help when early relationships affect current life. Emotionally focused and client‑centred ways of working are used to strengthen emotional awareness and self‑acceptance.

Sessions are offered in English and are delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Cost varies with location and a subscription model is used, which can be cancelled at any time. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

Approach and online therapy options

Mahin often uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people try practical steps to reduce anxiety, low mood or unhelpful behaviours. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another common strand she uses; ACT focuses on clarifying values and learning simple ways to make choices that fit a person's life even when feelings are difficult.

Attachment‑based work is also part of her practice and helps when patterns from early relationships affect current connections and emotional responses. These ways of working are explained and tried together so the person and therapist choose what feels most useful for each problem.

Online therapy gives a range of ways to connect. Video calls allow face‑to‑face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when a quieter moment is needed or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check‑ins, ongoing reflection, or people who prefer typing to speaking. Overall, online sessions make it easier to fit therapy around work, care duties and other commitments while exploring which approach helps most.
