Mayuri Patel is a counsellor who has practised in the United Kingdom for five years and holds the NCPS credential. She works with people facing a wide range of concerns and aims to meet each person with respect and sensitivity. Mayuri speaks English, Gujarati and Hindi, and accepts international clients.

She often helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety and depression. She also supports those facing addiction, trauma and grief, and people managing long term health conditions. Relationship and family issues, intimacy, parenting strain and career worries are also within her focus.

Mayuri adapts her conversations and plans to each person’s situation. She uses approaches that look at attachment, emotions and practical thinking skills, and she brings mindfulness into sessions when it suits the client. The work is collaborative - she helps clients set goals and tries different ways of working to find what helps.

Her practice includes attention to neurodiversity, adoption and foster care matters, body image and eating concerns, and caregiver stress. She also supports people navigating major life changes, chronic pain or illness, and challenges like ADHD, bipolar and co-morbidity.

Sessions are offered in several formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Mayuri aims to make therapy straightforward and practical, focusing on small changes that add up over time.

Therapeutic approaches and online counselling

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand connection, trust and repeated relationship difficulties and can be useful for those with abandonment or attachment concerns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT focuses on how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It offers straightforward tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood and change unhelpful habits. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, centres on recognising and working with strong emotions to improve how people relate and communicate in close relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and will suggest ways of working to try together. This is a collaborative conversation and approaches can be adapted over time to fit what is most helpful.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls are useful when visual cues help the conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can suit shorter check-ins or times when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while still working with registered or accredited professionals.
