Mystica Furey, BACP

Mystica Furey helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those facing relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, anger and career changes. Mystica is a BACP counsellor with 14 years of practice in the United Kingdom and abroad.

Mystica uses a straightforward, respectful approach in sessions. She listens first to understand what matters to each person. Then she works with them to set simple goals and practical steps they can try between meetings.

Her work draws on a mix of approaches. She uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot and change unhelpful thoughts. Attachment-based ideas help people understand their relationship patterns. Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing is offered when past trauma needs focused attention.

Sessions are shaped to a person’s needs and cultural background. Mystica pays attention to multicultural concerns, prejudice and discrimination, and how these affect wellbeing. She also addresses process addictions such as gambling, exercise or pornography when they play a part in someone’s difficulties.

Mystica describes herself as calm and direct in the room. She aims to build practical coping skills, improve self-worth and help people find clearer direction in life. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she offers steady support while people work through changes.

Her experience spans community and international settings over 14 years. People who choose her can expect a collaborative, goal-focused way of working that keeps everyday life and cultural context in view.

Online approaches that fit your needs

Mystica commonly uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety or low mood. This approach is practical and works well for stress, phobias and many everyday problems.

She also draws on attachment-based therapy to help people understand how early relationship patterns affect current connections and coping. That can be useful when relationship anxiety, trust issues or repeating patterns cause distress. When past trauma is central, she may offer eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing to work through distressing memories in a focused way.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Mystica will discuss the options and help decide which methods fit someone’s goals, needs and preferences. The plan can be adjusted as progress is made and new issues arise, keeping the client involved at every step.

Online sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone appointments, live chat or text-based messaging. Video offers a near face-to-face conversation, phone calls need less bandwidth and can be easier on a busy day, live chat suits shorter, focused check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing contact between meetings. These options give flexibility for work, family and travel while maintaining continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
