Mia Haskurti

I'm a qualified counsellor and senior mental health peer support worker who believes deeply in the value of empathy, connection and lived experience. I offer a supportive, understanding and confidential space where you can begin to explore your current challenges and discover new ways forward and the path that feels right for you. I believe that with the right support, everyone has the capacity to gain insight, heal and move towards a more fulfilling life. I have experience in working with anxiety, depression and trauma, offering trauma-informed therapy that recognises the lasting impact of difficult experiences while supporting you in reclaiming a sense of safety and self-compassion. I am also passionate about supporting individuals navigating mental health challenges related to neurodiversity, as well as those in caring roles, recognising the unique emotional demands and complexities these experiences can bring. Whatever brings you to counselling, my role is to walk alongside you, offering empathy, understanding and a non - judgemental space in which to be truly heard. Feel free to reach out - make contact and we can work out together if I am the right fit for you. As you can see, I offer online and phone therapy as well as Face2Face Walk & Talk Therapy, which is proven not only to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms and improve physical health but most importantly it also facilitates openness and emotional expression, as walking side-by-side rather than sitting face-to-face offers a certain freedom that feels less intimidating. Testimonials: - " With Mia's support, I realised that it was OK to feel the way I did about my Mum's dementia and how that impacted on our relationship and my life and our family dynamics overall. With her help I was also able to work on the increasing guilt I felt at needing and wanting time for myself away from the increasing caring responsibilities for my mum and support for my father, who was struggling also. When counselling ended, I felt more like the old me, confident in my decisions and able to work on my career, which had been on hold since my mums diagnosis". "After a session with Mia I feel lighter and able to breathe". " I’m feeling good about our sessions so far and think it is really helping me. Thank you for summarising them every week and sending some grounding techniques for me".
