Mia Bezzi , BACP

Mia Bezzi offers support for stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, parenting strain, grief, trauma and abuse, addictive behaviours, sleep problems and difficulties with self-esteem. She also helps with anger, compassion fatigue, ADHD and life changes. Mia presents as calm and approachable, and she aims to listen first and follow each person’s pace. Mia has eight years of experience working with people from varied backgrounds across the United Kingdom. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her work draws on a person-centred way of being alongside psychodynamic thinking to help people understand patterns that affect daily life. In sessions she mixes practical tools and reflective conversation. Cognitive behavioural ideas can help with mood and panic, while mindfulness and simple meditation practices may be used when helpful. The emphasis is on things the client can try between sessions as well as talking through what matters in the moment. Mia describes herself as empathic, compassionate and creative. She aims to build a steady working relationship so people can explore difficult feelings and make gradual change. Sessions move at a pace chosen by the person attending. For people worried about finding the right counsellor, Mia invites questions before starting. She encourages an open discussion about goals, timing and what a helpful session looks like for each individual.

Approaches you can use in online counselling

Client-centred work puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens carefully and follows what the client brings, helping them make sense of feelings and choices. This approach is useful for improving self-esteem, exploring life purpose and dealing with relationship or family-related concerns. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It uses short exercises and practical strategies that people can try between sessions to manage anxiety, panic, mood problems and sleep difficulties. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mia will discuss different methods and decide together what fits best for your needs, goals and preferences. That collaboration helps shape the pace, homework and focus of sessions. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good for a fuller conversational feel, while phone calls work well when internet bandwidth is an issue. Live chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins, brief reflections or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options give more flexibility around timing, allow continuation across locations, and make it easier to fit therapy into busy days.
