About Mia

Mia Pickard is a counsellor with three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation, which indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Mia offers calm, steady support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, anger, and trauma.

She focuses on helping people name and share difficult thoughts and feelings. Sessions aim to feel straightforward and non-judgemental. Mia works to build trust so people can try new ways of coping and notice what helps them feel steadier.

Background and approach

Mia has worked with concerns that range from addiction and sleeping difficulties to changes in relationships and parenting stress. She also supports people dealing with long-term conditions, chronic pain, and challenges linked to adoption, attachment, or bereavement. Her practice includes work on self-esteem, bipolar and depression, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

In conversation she keeps language plain and practical. People can expect help to break problems down into manageable steps. The goal is to create realistic plans for coping and to find methods that fit day-to-day life.

Mia offers sessions using video calls, phone, live chat, or text messages. She asks people to use a short matching questionnaire to begin, then schedule sessions according to availability. Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches work online

The counsellor draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. One approach helps people make sense of traumatic events by allowing them to tell their story at a steady pace while learning coping skills to reduce distress. Another approach emphasises building daily routines and small behavioural changes to ease anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and addiction-related patterns. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mia will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try. That collaborative process means plans can be adjusted over time to fit what is most helpful. Online sessions offer flexibility for different lives. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation when time and bandwidth allow. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or work better when being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text messaging suit people who benefit from written reflection or need support between longer appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and other commitments.
