About Mim
Mim McConachie is a counsellor who works with people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress and relationship strain. She is approachable and practical, and aims to help clients build confidence, set boundaries and find calmer ways to cope. Mim holds BACP accreditation and practises from the United Kingdom.
Mim draws on an integrative approach that is tailored to each person’s needs. Sessions focus on simple, real-life steps rather than jargon. Conversations move at the client’s pace so people can bring what feels manageable that week.
How Mim works
She often helps people notice how people-pleasing and fear of conflict show up in everyday life. That can look like avoiding saying no, replaying social interactions, or losing sight of personal needs. Mim works through these patterns with practical tools for calmer thinking and clearer communication.
Practical exercises and reflective conversation form much of the work. Clients can expect help with building small habits that gradually change responses to stress and social anxiety. There is space to discuss guilt, shame and perfectionism without feeling judged.
Mim also supports those navigating life changes, identity questions and a search for purpose. She pays attention to attachment issues, body image and communication problems as they relate to self-worth and relationships. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy
Mim works in an integrative way, often drawing on evidence-based techniques that focus on thoughts, behaviours and personal values. One common approach addresses unhelpful thinking patterns by helping people spot automatic worries and try alternative, calmer responses. This can reduce the intensity of anxiety and make social situations feel more manageable. Another approach emphasises building practical skills for communication and boundaries, using small steps and rehearsed responses to increase confidence and reduce people-pleasing tendencies.Choosing the right approach is part of the work and happens together. Mim will talk through what feels most useful based on a person’s goals, history and preferences. She adapts methods over time so the plan fits everyday life, not theory alone, and checks in regularly to make sure progress feels real and relevant.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility. Video lets people read body language and hold a fuller conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a break. Live chat and messaging are helpful for shorter check-ins, ongoing reflections, or when someone prefers typing to speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family and daily routines.
