Mahin Hamidi , BACP

Mahin Hamidi is an integrative therapist and a registered member of the BACP, the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. She combines several therapeutic traditions to create personalised care, drawing on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic ideas, gestalt, person-centred work, and compassion-focused techniques while attending to the wider influences and context that shape a person’s life.

With five years of clinical experience, Mahin has supported people facing stress and anxiety, dissociation, OCD, autism-related challenges, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse including childhood trauma, grief and loss, and a range of life transitions. Her work also addresses concerns around acceptance, control, finding balance, and the day-to-day challenges that sit between major issues.

Mahin views each person as the expert of their own story and seeks to build on existing strengths. She offers a compassionate and empowering therapeutic relationship aimed at helping clients explore their experiences, discover practical ways to cope, and move toward greater wellbeing and clarity.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Mahin uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based approaches alongside cognitive behavioral tools to support people online. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping someone notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then clarify values and take meaningful action - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses, which can be helpful for relationship difficulties, intimacy concerns, and issues linked to abandonment or attachment wounds. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, often supporting work with anxiety, depression, and coping skills.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Mahin collaborates with each person to find what fits best. She works with clients to set goals, try approaches that match their needs and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Mahin is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier for people to attend sessions from home or work and to continue therapy during life transitions or when in-person meetings are not possible, while still working with licensed professionals and therapists who guide the process.
