Hayriye Mut , BACP

Hayriye Mut is a United Kingdom based counsellor with five years of professional experience and membership in the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which denotes professional training and adherence to recognised practice standards. She specialises in supporting people experiencing stress and anxiety, those coping with addictions, and individuals facing relationship difficulties as well as trauma and abuse. Hayriye focuses on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly and at the client’s pace.

Recognising that seeking help takes courage, she works to empower clients as they take steps toward change and a more fulfilling life. Her approach emphasises collaboration and practical support so clients can build insight and develop coping strategies that fit their lives. Sessions are delivered with empathy and a clear focus on the issues the client brings, and Hayriye offers therapy in English and Turkish to accommodate bilingual needs.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Hayriye draws on attachment-based therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns in intimacy and trust, helping clients address attachment issues and strengthen relational connections. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, offering practical tools for managing stress, anxiety, and mood-related difficulties. When dealing with traumatic experiences, Hayriye can apply trauma-focused techniques to help clients process difficult memories and develop coping strategies that reduce distress over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work, and Hayriye collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process allows therapy to be tailored to the individual rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for people balancing work, family, or mobility needs. Sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to maintain continuity of care and access support from home or elsewhere. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to deliver structured, goal-focused work while accommodating different communication styles and schedules.
