About Mahin
Mahin Hamidi is a counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She brings five years of practice to sessions and focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and life changes. She takes an integrative approach.
Sessions draw on cognitive behavioural techniques alongside client-centred and attachment-based ideas. That means conversations centre on what matters to the person in the room and on practical steps to manage difficult feelings.
Background and approach
Mahin pays attention to how past experiences shape current patterns. She works with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, dissociation, and the effects of childhood trauma. She also supports people dealing with addiction, eating and body image concerns, anger, low self-esteem and compassion fatigue.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Clients are invited to name their goals, try small changes between sessions, and reflect on what helps or gets in the way. Sessions aim to build coping skills and to increase awareness of personal strengths.
Mahin offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to people in the United Kingdom. She speaks English and follows a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time.

How Mahin’s approaches work online
Mahin uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. ACT is practical and focuses on building willingness to face difficult emotions while still moving towards a meaningful life.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy which looks at how early relationships affect current patterns. This approach helps people understand connection, trust and intimacy issues and how those patterns show up now.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Mahin will discuss your needs and goals and adapt techniques from different models to suit your situation. This is a collaborative process where you test what helps and adjust as you go.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins, shorter reflections or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep contact between sessions.
