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 combines multiple therapeutic traditions to create tailored care, drawing on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic ideas, gestalt, person-centred practice, and compassion-focused strategies while attending to a client’s wider life context and influences.

Her practice supports people facing a broad range of challenges, including stress, anxiety, dissociation, OCD, autism, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, childhood trauma, grief and loss, and everyday life transitions. She also works with issues around acceptance, control and finding balance, helping clients uncover strengths they can use to move forward.

Mahin approaches therapy with the view that each person is the expert on their own story. She aims to create a collaborative space that empowers clients to explore difficult experiences, build resilience and make meaningful changes. Seeking help is framed as a courageous first step, and Mahin positions herself as a calm, supportive guide through that process.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take practical steps toward a meaningful life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and navigating life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy examines patterns that developed in early relationships and how they affect current connections; it helps people understand relational dynamics, repair attachment wounds and improve intimacy and communication. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a skills-focused approach that identifies unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical strategies to manage symptoms and cope with challenges such as anxiety, depression and compulsive behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods fit best with their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting techniques over time to support progress. This collaborative stance helps tailor sessions to what matters most to the client.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter contacts are possible through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists without the need for travel.
