About Hayriye

Hayriye Mut is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship difficulties and the effects of trauma. She uses straightforward conversation to help clients talk through feelings and decide on practical next steps. Hayriye works in English and Turkish and holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy registration. She aims to build an open space where people can say what is on their mind without judgement. Sessions focus on what matters now and on small changes that make daily life easier. Hayriye encourages clients to set realistic goals and to notice progress between meetings. Her practice draws on several therapy styles to match different needs. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, for example, helps spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Attachment-informed approaches look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Trauma-focused work supports people who are processing hurtful events and their ongoing impact. Hayriye brings five years of professional experience to her work. That background includes supporting people with depression, grief, self-esteem and sleep problems, and helping those coping with chronic illness or caregiver stress. She also works with clients facing ADHD-related challenges and intimacy or communication difficulties. If someone is unsure about how to start, Hayriye invites them to try a first conversation and see if it feels right. The focus is on practical steps and steady support toward clearer thinking and calmer days.

Step 3

How therapy approaches translate online

Attachment-based work pays attention to how past relationships affect current feelings and reactions; online sessions can use this approach to map patterns and try new ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours, which often involves homework and practical steps between sessions. Trauma-focused therapy helps people process distressing experiences and build coping skills, using pacing and stabilisation techniques suited to the person's needs.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and which methods feel most helpful, and will adapt the plan as therapy progresses. That makes the process collaborative rather than fixed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online therapy helpful because it can fit around work, childcare and travel; it can also make shorter check-ins easier and avoid commuting time. Online work supports practical tasks like reviewing thought records or sharing written exercises between meetings while keeping focus on steady progress.
