About Mahin
Mahin Hamidi is an integrative counsellor and a BACP member practising in the United Kingdom. She brings five years of experience and combines several therapy methods to help people untangle difficult feelings and patterns. Mahin meets people where they are and aims to make sessions straightforward and practical.
She focuses on common struggles such as stress, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, trauma and abuse, and problems connected to eating, addiction and anger.
How Mahin works
Mahin offers care for people experiencing compassion fatigue, ADHD-related concerns, and the emptiness that can follow life changes. Her approach pulls from cognitive behavioural ideas and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and build clearer action. Attachment-based work and emotionally-focused ideas guide exploration of patterns in relationships and closeness.
Client-centred practice keeps the persons experience central and helps people feel heard while they work through change. Sessions focus on practical steps and understanding what keeps problems going. Mahin helps people notice patterns, try out new ways of relating, and set realistic goals.
She explains tools in plain language so they can be used between sessions. People who prefer a collaborative, down-to-earth counsellor may find her style useful. She encourages strengths and small steps.
The aim is to build resilience and clearer direction for everyday life.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and gradually take actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and navigating big life changes.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current bonds and closeness. It can help people who notice repeated relationship cycles or difficulty trusting others.
Mahin uses these approaches together with client-centred work to shape a plan that fits each person. Finding the right way forward is a collaborative process. The therapist and client talk about goals, try different techniques and adjust based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers a range of practical options. Video calls let people speak face-to-face when a fuller conversation is needed. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is required. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter reflections, quick check-ins or people who prefer writing to talking.
These formats make therapy more flexible around work, travel or family commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can use them to deliver structured tools, reflective conversation and ongoing support tailored to a client's needs.
