About Hayriye

Hayriye Mut is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of experience. She works with adults who are carrying stress or anxiety, dealing with addiction, processing trauma and abuse, or facing relationship and parenting strains. Sessions are offered in English and Turkish and aim to help people talk through what feels stuck at home or at work.

Her approach blends different ways of working. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps break patterns that keep problems going. Attachment-based ideas look at how past relationships shape current ones. Psychodynamic thinking invites attention to repeated feelings and long-standing themes. Trauma-focused methods help when events are still causing distress.

In a typical meeting she listens to what comes up, reflects back practical steps, and suggests small experiments to try between sessions. People often bring issues such as sleep disruption, grief, low self-esteem, parenting strain, or trouble with intimacy. She also notes concerns like coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and chronic illness.

Hayriye describes sessions as collaborative. She helps set goals and checks progress as therapy continues. Costs vary with location and use a cancel-anytime subscription model.

To begin, clients use the online matching process and schedule a first session. International clients are not accepted, so bookings are for people based in the United Kingdom only.

How sessions work

How Hayriye’s approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships affect current bonds. Online sessions can help identify repeating patterns in relationships and practise new ways of relating in day-to-day life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. In remote sessions CBT often uses straightforward exercises and small behavioural tasks to test different ways of coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to try and how to adapt them as therapy progresses. This is a collaborative selection rather than a fixed prescription.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings around parenting and work - for example shorter check-ins during a lunch break or choosing a non-video phone conversation when bandwidth is limited. Registered or accredited professionals often use remote sessions to maintain continuity of care and to reduce travel time, while focusing on practical strategies that can be applied at home.
