Mahin Hamidi , BACP

Mahin Hamidi is an integrative therapist based in the United Kingdom and a registered member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She blends a range of counselling theories, combining elements of cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic work, gestalt, person-centred and compassion-focused approaches to create tailored care that reflects each person’s context and life layers.

Mahin supports people working through stress, anxiety, dissociation and OCD, and she has experience supporting autistic clients. She also addresses relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse including childhood trauma, grief and loss, and many of the practical challenges that follow life change - acceptance, control and finding balance.

Mahin believes that each person is the expert on their own story and that existing strengths are central to change. Her practice emphasises empowerment and collaborative work, helping people identify goals and take courageous first steps toward a more fulfilling life. She aims to provide personalised treatment that recognises influence, context and the multiple layers that shape experience.

Therapeutic approaches served online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting those experiences dictate their actions. It focuses on clarifying values and taking committed steps toward a meaningful life - useful for stress, anxiety and coping with life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns in close connections and emotional responses. It can be particularly helpful for relationship difficulties, abandonment and attachment issues by building awareness and new ways of relating.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical, skills-based work to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. CBT is often applied to anxiety, depression, anger and eating-related challenges to develop more effective coping strategies.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Mahin works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best for their needs, goals and preferences. She draws on different methods as appropriate, adjusting the focus as trust and insight develop.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people managing busy schedules, mobility limits or life transitions. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access support from licensed professionals and therapists from home or other convenient locations.
