How Mika works
She works in a pluralistic way, which means sessions are shaped around what the person wants to bring. The focus is on whatever feels most pressing, whether that is family conflict, bereavement, addictions, or issues with mood and self-esteem. Her approach can include mindfulness practices to help calm the body during stressful moments.
She also draws on client-centred and solution-focused ideas to keep sessions practical and goal-oriented. Existential perspectives are used when people want to look at meaning, values or big life questions. Mika aims to be flexible with appointment times so therapy can fit around family life.
She replies to messages within 24 hours on weekdays and responds to weekend messages on Monday. She is based in the United Kingdom and works in English. She follows the code of ethics of the NCPS and keeps her skills current through continuing professional development and regular supervision.

How Mika’s approaches work well online
Mika uses client-centred ideas that focus on the person’s priorities in the session. That approach means conversations concentrate on what feels most urgent, and the therapist follows your lead to decide what to discuss and work on next.She also uses mindfulness techniques to help with stress and anxiety. Mindfulness here involves simple breathing and grounding practices that can be tried during a call to reduce tension and increase calm in the moment.
Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the process. Mika works collaboratively to identify what helps most based on a person’s goals and preferences, and then adapts methods as therapy progresses so sessions feel useful and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat can suit short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around family life, work or a busy schedule.
