Hayriye Mut, BACP

Hayriye Mut is a UK-based therapist with five years of professional experience who supports people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She holds BACP membership - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects engagement with a recognised professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists.

Hayriye focuses on building an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be expressed freely. She works collaboratively with each person to explore patterns, set realistic goals, and develop practical coping strategies. Recognising that seeking change takes courage, she aims to empower clients to take the first steps toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.

Her approach emphasises respect, active listening, and steady support as clients navigate personal challenges. Whether addressing anxiety, relationship strain, addictive behaviours, or past harm, Hayriye offers consistent encouragement and practical tools to help people move forward at their own pace.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on the way early relationships shape current patterns of connection and safety. It helps people explore attachment needs, address abandonment or intimacy concerns, and build healthier relational habits for present-day relationships.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-focused approach that identifies unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and introduces alternative ways of thinking and coping. It is commonly used for anxiety, low mood, and everyday stressors to produce measurable changes in mood and functioning.

Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process distressing events in a paced, supportive way so memories and reactions feel less overwhelming. It aims to reduce the impact of past harm and strengthen coping strategies for triggers and symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Hayriye Mut works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she may combine elements from different approaches as appropriate.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and support can continue via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain consistency between sessions, and access care from the comfort of home with licensed professionals and therapists who can adapt treatment to each person’s circumstances.
