About Hayriye

Hayriye Mut is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems and trauma. She speaks English and Turkish and works to make the first steps towards change feel manageable. Hayriye is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Hayriye aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where people can talk about difficult feelings. She supports clients who are dealing with grief, low self-esteem, sleeping problems, anger and major life changes. Her approach is gentle and conversational, focusing on what feels most pressing for each person.

She draws on several therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and attachment-informed work, to help clients understand patterns and try practical changes. Hayriye also uses psychodynamic and trauma-focused ideas when these fit someones needs and history.

Sessions focus on identifying clearer goals, understanding past influences and testing different coping strategies. Hayriye encourages small, practical steps so progress feels achievable between meetings. She also pays attention to how relationships and early experiences affect current difficulties.

With five years of experience, Hayriye combines conversational listening with structured tools when helpful. People who value warm, straightforward support may find her style a good match. To begin, readers should confirm available session formats and scheduling details before booking.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Hayriye works with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and attachment-informed approaches that suit many common problems. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes that can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Attachment-based work looks at relationship patterns and early experiences to help people understand how those patterns affect current reactions and connections.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Hayriye discusses goals and preferences with each person and adapts methods as therapy progresses. Together they choose what feels most useful, whether that means structured exercises, reflective conversations or trauma-focused techniques when relevant.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people join sessions from whatever everyday space works best for them while keeping scheduling flexible.
