About Hayriye

Hayriye Mut helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and low mood. She uses talk-based counselling to help people understand patterns, manage difficult feelings, and find ways to cope. Hayriye is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years' experience working in the United Kingdom.

Her work usually begins with listening to what matters most to the person in front of her. She asks about recent life events, recurring patterns, and how problems affect daily life. From there she and the client agree practical steps to try between sessions, plus subjects to focus on in the room.

Hayriye draws on cognitive behavioural approaches to help people spot unhelpful thinking and test new ways of behaving. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current connections. Psychodynamic elements are used when it helps to uncover repeated emotional patterns tied to past events.

When trauma or abuse is central, she uses trauma-focused work that aims to reduce overwhelming reactions and improve day-to-day functioning. Sessions typically involve paced conversation, grounding techniques and gradual review of distressing memories when appropriate.

She offers counselling in English and Turkish. Hayriye asks new clients to complete a short match questionnaire and schedule a first session so they can agree goals and a working plan together.

How her approaches work for online counselling

Hayriye commonly uses cognitive behavioural therapy and trauma-focused work in her practice. CBT helps people identify and test unhelpful thoughts and develop practical coping skills for issues such as anxiety, sleep problems and low mood. Trauma-focused work aims to reduce the intensity of distressing reactions and to build more manageable ways of remembering and talking about traumatic events.

She also draws on attachment-based and psychodynamic ideas to look at how early relationships or repeated emotional patterns affect current life. These approaches help uncover recurring relationship patterns and how they influence feelings about self and others. Deciding which mix to use is a collaborative process and she will work with the client to agree what fits their needs and goals.

If you prefer to work online, confirm the session formats offered before booking so you know how sessions are run. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the need to travel to sessions. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use online sessions to keep continuity of care and to offer flexible scheduling, and Hayriye will discuss practical arrangements when you book the first appointment.
