About Hayriye

Hayriye Mut is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years of professional experience. She works with young adults and others dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, low mood, and life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Turkish. Hayriye’s practice pays attention to common early-adult pressures like work stress, study transitions, money worries, and relationship strain.

Her approach combines attachment-based ideas, cognitive behavioural techniques and psychodynamic thinking. That means she looks at how patterns from early relationships shape current reactions, helps people test different ways of responding, and notices the stories that keep repeating. She also uses trauma-focused methods when past events continue to affect day-to-day life.

In practical terms Hayriye usually works by listening first, then suggesting small experiments and changes to thoughts or behaviour. She encourages clear, straightforward goals and short exercises between sessions when useful. Conversations cover how habits, sleep, and stress interact with mood and relationships.

Hayriye has helped people address parenting strain, grief, anger and self-esteem issues as well as neurodiverse concerns like autism and attention differences. She also supports those coping with chronic illness, caregiver stress and career doubts. For young adults feeling behind, stuck after university, or unsure about first jobs, she focuses on manageable steps forward.

To begin, prospective clients are asked to use the online matching questionnaire and then book a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape how someone connects now. In online sessions this means talking through recurring ways of relating and trying different responses in daily life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises. Online meetings can be used to set small behavioural experiments and to review brief homework between sessions. Trauma-focused work concentrates on helping people process past events that still affect them now, using careful pacing and techniques suited to each person.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable. That discussion guides whether more CBT, attachment-based exploration or trauma-focused methods are used, and it can change over time as needs evolve.

If you plan to use online sessions, confirm the specific formats offered when you book. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy around study, shifts at work or caring commitments. They can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins between busy days, and make it possible to maintain continuity if circumstances change. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists typically adapt exercises and pacing so online work connects with everyday life without requiring extra disruption.
