Hayriye Mut, BACP

Hayriye Mut is a counsellor who supports people coping with stress, anxiety, relationship strain and the effects of trauma. She also helps with addictions, depression, grief and challenges such as sleep problems and low self-esteem. Hayriye works in English and Turkish and practises in the United Kingdom. Hayriye creates a calm space for people to talk through difficult feelings without fear of judgement. She invites clients to describe what they are experiencing and to set small, practical goals. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on patterns that can be changed over time. Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and psychodynamic thinking to look at how early relationships affect present difficulties. Hayriye also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try new ways of managing stress and mood. She has five years of professional experience and is a BACP member, which is noted here as BACP. That background informs her practical, conversational style. People come to Hayriye for help with issues including parenting strain, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, ADHD, intimacy questions, career pressures and compassion fatigue. She also supports those facing coping with life changes and matters linked to attachment, identity and communication. To begin, clients use the site Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. Session fees vary with location and a subscription model is used that can be cancelled at any time.

How Hayriye’s approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and behaviour. Online conversations can highlight these patterns and help people try different ways of connecting and responding in daily life. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes. In remote sessions this often means setting short, practical exercises between meetings to try out new coping strategies. Psychodynamic ideas are used to notice recurring themes and emotional patterns that show up in relationships. Talking these through online can help bring clarity to long-standing difficulties and guide decisions about change. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Hayriye will discuss goals and preferences with each person and together they will decide which methods to emphasise. The process is collaborative and reviewed as needs shift. If you prefer to have sessions online, please confirm the available session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions can sit around work or family commitments.
