Mahin Hamidi , BACP

Mahin Hamidi is an integrative therapist and a registered member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, practicing in the United Kingdom. She blends several counselling theories to create tailored support for each person, drawing on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic ideas, gestalt, person-centred work, and compassion-focused techniques while paying attention to context and the multiple layers of a person’s life.

Her practice focuses on helping people recover and build resilience through periods of stress, anxiety, dissociation, obsessive tendencies, and the challenges that can accompany autism. She also works with relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse including childhood trauma, grief and loss, and the everyday life transitions that demand acceptance, self-regulation, and a renewed sense of balance.

Mahin views each person as the expert of their own story and seeks to build on existing strengths. She frames therapy as a courageous step toward a more fulfilling life and offers support aimed at empowering people to navigate change, regain control, and discover sustainable ways to cope and grow.

Integrative Approaches and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then focus on actions that align with their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions where acceptance and purposeful action are needed.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns in intimacy and trust, offering a path to improve connection, manage abandonment or attachment concerns, and heal from relational wounds.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work, using empathy, respect, and collaboration to build self-understanding and make change feel achievable. It is often helpful for issues around self-esteem, identity, and navigating emotional challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Mahin will work collaboratively to determine which methods best match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, adapting the approach over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can happen by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain regular work on goals, stay connected during busy periods, and access therapy from different locations while working with licensed professionals and therapists who can tailor their support to individual circumstances.
