Hayriye Mut, BACP

Hayriye Mut is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain and trauma. She speaks English and Turkish and works from the United Kingdom. Her approach aims to make talking about difficult feelings feel manageable and straightforward.

She offers calm, non-judgemental space for people to share their thoughts. Sessions focus on what feels most pressing - such as addictions, sleep problems, parenting strain or grief - and on practical steps to cope day to day. Hayriye emphasises small changes that can make life feel steadier.

Her background includes five years of professional experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She draws on a mix of therapy styles to match someone’s needs rather than using a single method for everyone.

Hayriye commonly uses approaches that look at how past relationships shape current feelings, how thoughts affect behaviour, and how traumatic events can be processed. She works collaboratively to set goals and to try techniques that fit each person’s situation.

People often begin by naming one or two problems they want to change. From there she and the client agree practical steps, tasks and ways to track progress. The focus is on building skills for coping with everyday challenges and on restoring a sense of control and hope.

How different therapy approaches help online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence present feelings and behaviour. It helps people who struggle with trust, abandonment worries or patterns that repeat in relationships by looking at connection and emotional needs.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful thinking, manage anxiety or improve sleep and daily routines.

Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to past experiences and patterns that show up now. It can be useful when someone wants to understand recurring problems, such as repeated relationship difficulties or long-standing low self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, listen to what matters to the client, and suggest ways to try different methods so they can see what helps most. This is treated as a joint decision based on needs and preferences.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm which formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people try talking without needing to be in the same room as the therapist, which some find easier when addressing difficult topics.
