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 - which signals adherence to recognised professional standards. With five years of clinical experience, she combines a range of counselling theories to create personalised care that addresses the complex layers of each person’s life.

Her practice draws on cognitive behavioural techniques alongside psychodynamic, gestalt, person-centred, and compassion-focused perspectives, attending to context, influences, and interpersonal patterns to help clients deepen understanding of themselves. Mahin works with people facing stress, anxiety, dissociation, OCD, autism-related concerns, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse including childhood trauma, grief and loss, and the many everyday challenges of life changes, control, acceptance, and balance.

She approaches therapy with the belief that the individual is the expert of their own story and that existing strengths can be harnessed to move toward meaningful change. Mahin frames the therapeutic process as supportive and empowering, offering a collaborative space where clients can take the courageous first steps toward greater wellbeing and clearer direction.

Therapeutic approaches and the convenience of online sessions

Mahin Hamidi draws from several evidence-informed approaches to tailor therapy to each person's needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and build practical ways to act in line with what matters to them while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings - it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding how early relationship patterns influence present-day emotions and connections, supporting people working through relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns, or attachment issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured ways to identify and adjust unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Mahin works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their goals, needs, and personal preferences. This collaborative stance helps tailor sessions so clients feel understood and supported.

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 to maintain continuity of care during life changes, reduce travel time, and offer accessible ways to engage in therapy from locations across the United Kingdom, with licensed professionals available to guide the process.
