Mim McConachie, BACP

Mim McConachie is a UK-based therapist who supports people struggling with anxiety, stress, relationships, low self-esteem, and major life changes. With four years of clinical experience and the BACP credential - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - she combines practical tools and compassionate listening to help clients rebuild confidence and claim their needs.

Mim understands what it feels like to prioritise others to the point of losing sight of yourself, having worked through people-pleasing and introversion in her own life. That lived insight informs her work with clients who find it hard to say no, who worry about what others think, or who want to set clearer boundaries without escalating conflict. She guides clients in identifying how anxiety appears in daily life, recognising patterns that keep them stuck, and practicing manageable changes that feel achievable.

Working in an integrative way, Mim draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques including cognitive and relational approaches so that each plan is tailored to the individual. Sessions move at the client’s pace and can take place from home, allowing people to attend in comfortable surroundings. Her aim is to help clients develop practical coping strategies, rebuild self-respect, and step toward a more authentic, calmer life.

Evidence-based approaches for online support

Mim commonly uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. This approach teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, reducing stress, and improving everyday coping. She also draws on person-centred methods that prioritise empathy and the therapeutic relationship, offering a nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their feelings and values to build self-understanding and self-worth.

In practice Mim works integratively, blending approaches to meet each person’s needs. Finding the right fit is part of the process - she collaborates with clients to identify which techniques best match their goals, preferences, and pace, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy with Mim is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which supports flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options can make it easier to attend regularly, practise new skills between sessions, and access support from familiar surroundings while working with licensed professionals and therapists to create meaningful change.
