Hayriye Mut, BACP

Hayriye Mut helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, or the aftermath of trauma. She speaks English and Turkish and aims to make early steps in therapy feel manageable and clear. Her first priority is creating a space where people can say what they need to say without fear of judgement.

Hayriye uses practical talking and listening to help people understand patterns that cause distress. She draws on therapies that look at how past relationships shape present reactions, and on approaches that focus on thoughts and behaviour. This means sessions can include exploring memories, noticing unhelpful thinking, and trying small changes between meetings.

Her background includes five years working in the United Kingdom and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). The BACP credential is shown as supplied by Hayriye and is presented here in the same terms.

People often come with problems such as depression, grief, sleep difficulties, parenting strain, compulsive behaviours, or trouble with self-esteem. Hayriye also supports those managing chronic illness, caregiving stress, ADHD, and the specific effects of abandonment or attachment wounds.

Sessions are conversational and grounded. Hayriye will listen, reflect back what she hears, and suggest simple experiments to try between sessions. The pace is guided by each person’s needs and goals, and progress is reviewed together as therapy continues.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Hayriye commonly uses attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating and reacting, and can help with intimacy issues, abandonment wounds and patterns that repeat in close relationships. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or manage mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk through goals, preferences and how problems show up day to day, then recommend what to try first. Clients and the therapist review progress and adjust the plan when needed, so the method is practical and collaborative.

Please confirm available session formats before booking as none are listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work or family life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can offer helpful continuity of care even when meetings happen remotely, and Hayriye will discuss what will suit your routine and aims during the initial matching process.
