Welcome
Hello, my name is Mika, MBACP. DipHE Psyc. Dip Couns
I am a qualified person-centred counsellor, student psychotherapist and the founder of Meeks Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Meeks Counselling and Psychotherapy is a small supportive group practice, made up of carefully selected associate counsellors who share the same values of warmth, professionalism, and genuine care.
We offer face-to-face sessions in our private therapy rooms in North Manchester and Blackpool, as well as online and telephone sessions, making counselling accessible to all.
At Meeks Counselling and Psychotherapy, we provide a safe, down-to-earth space to talk things through. Sometimes life can feel heavy - even when you can’t quite put your finger on why. We support people through anxiety, loss, stress, major life changes and the moments when life feels overwhelming. Whether you’re feeling anxious, trapped in negative thoughts or just need someone to listen without judgement, therapy can help you find clarity, calm and confidence again.
Our Therapeutic Approach?
Our therapists work primarily from a Person-centred approach, with some also integrating elements of CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy). This means our work is unique to your individual needs, while providing practical coping strategies to help you manage thoughts, emotions and behaviours more effectively.
Benefits of Person-Centred Counselling:
A safe, non-judgemental space to explore your thoughts and feelings
Feeling heard, understood and validated
Building self-awareness and emotional resilience
Working at your own pace in a collaborative way
Benefits of CBT:
Practical strategies to manage anxiety, stress, low mood and overthinking
Identifying and challenging unhelpful thought patterns
Tools to improve coping and daily functioning
Structured techniques alongside emotional exploration
You are enough, and you don’t have to go through this alone. Our aim is to help you discover your identity, coping mechanisms, personality, core beliefs and life experiences. Reconnecting you with your true self and fostering personal growth.
Ready to take the next step?
We understand that finding the right therapist matters. As a group practice, we can carefully match you with a therapist who’s approach and availability best suits your needs. You are also welcome to request a specific therapist if you prefer.

There’s no obligation and no pressure - just a chance to talk things through and see how it feels.
Client Reviews
“What a fantastic person, what can I say. Do I recommend? A definite yes. If you read this review, just pick up the phone and get in touch with Mika. I also recommend listening to her podcasts because if you want to know what she’s like, she’s exactly like what you listen to on the podcasts. She’s a very nice, caring person. And very good at listening. It definitely helps me talking about things. It does take the weight off your shoulders by talking.”
