About Hayriye
Hayriye Mut is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems and the effects of trauma and abuse. She welcomes conversations about grief, sleeping difficulties, self-esteem, parenting strain and coping with life changes. Hayriye also supports people facing challenges such as compassion fatigue, ADHD and coping with natural or human-caused disaster.
Hayriye uses straightforward, conversational sessions where people can say what they are thinking and feeling without fear of judgement. She aims to create a calm, open space and to work alongside each person to find practical next steps. Change often feels hard at first, and she focuses on small goals that build confidence over time.
Her background includes five years of professional experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That registration is recorded as BACP in her credentials. She brings this experience to work through practical problems like sleeping issues, career stress and communication difficulties.
Hayriye draws on approaches such as attachment-based work, cognitive behavioural ideas and psychodynamic thinking to understand patterns and the reasons behind them. She also uses trauma-focused methods when trauma is part of someone’s story. These approaches are used flexibly to fit the person in front of her.
If you speak English or Turkish you can work with her in either language. To begin, the usual step is to use the site’s Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to arrange an initial appointment.
How Hayriye’s approaches can work online
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they react a certain way in close relationships and supports changes in how they connect with others.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises and steps to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and manage unhelpful habits such as addictive behaviours.
Trauma-focused work concentrates on the impact of distressing events and on ways to reduce their hold in daily life. This can include grounding strategies and gradual processing so memories feel less overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to a person’s concerns, goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. Decisions are collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is made.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around life commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Discuss practical arrangements at the first appointment to make sessions manageable alongside everyday routines.
