“I began seeing Mika for help with the trauma I experienced at the start of the year, and the weekly sessions have truly been the best version of self-care I could have given myself. Mika’s approach not only guided me through the healing process but also helped me gain a deeper understanding of myself. Her work on the nervous system helped me feel more regulated and I could bring these new skills home and share them with my partner too.

What stood out most was the safe space Mika created. I always felt comfortable bringing anything— whether big or small—into our sessions, knowing I would receive the support I needed. My personal growth, both within myself and in my relationships, has been incredible. If I weren’t leaving the country, I would absolutely continue working with her. I highly recommend Mika to anyone seeking meaningful growth and healing.”

Oli – Client

“My sessions with Mika opened up a completely new world for me. I’m so grateful I was able to explore a new world within myself with Mika’s loving, patient, compassionate, comforting, and trusting guidance and space that she held for me. My sessions with her and especially the work she helped me with on my nervous system were life changing. I never thought I’d be able to get past some of my deeply rooted challenges or traumas, or ever understand them, but I have. I generated a new found love, compassion, and relationship for and within myself. Thank you, Mika.”

Nada – Client

“Mika bestows an ability beyond her age, and experience on paper, and I feel this is a true testament of her strong spirit. To find someone so special to connect with, and back you in your own choices with confidence has been so rewarding for my personal development. I had the first-hand experience of her capacity to dive deep, hold space, listen and really want to understand me with empathy, compassion and curiosity to empower me. The fast pace of our modern life needs a warm hug, time to process and a deep understanding of oneself to enjoy it in its fullness. I found my sessions with Mika have been the most profound in relation to this.
I have seen a few psychologists and counsellors, and never have I felt that real presence, and space to feel safe and work through my thoughts and emotions freely as I do with her.
I now have more skills to navigate life, find peace, and learn to respond with love instead of reacting in fear. Mika is someone I’m truly thankful for. Her understanding of the many layers and facets of life, she diligently weaves into the time spent and explored, asking the tough questions with a gentle ease that lifts the weight of ones that burdened to then unfurl into realisations that open up new ways to feel safe and connect with yourself. I highly recommend Mika if you are ready to welcome an inner journey.”

Karlee – Client

“I have been facilitating and mentoring Mika for the past two and a half years. In that time, I have witnessed her growing into her own wisdom and abilities. Besides being adept and knowledgeable in counselling theory, strategy and technique, Mika has lived experience of processing life events and trauma, which enables her to compassionately, and with depth and insight, facilitate others. Having lived experience of processing work as a client is, I believe, a valuable asset for counsellors. I highly recommend Mika for anyone seeking an empathetic, experienced and capable counsellor for support in their healing journey”

Lisa Brown – Therapeutic Coach

“I have had many counselling sessions in the past, and have spent a lot of time working on myself. Sometimes that makes it difficult to find new techniques that resonate and have an impact on you. The therapeutic approach Mika introduced me to was unique and embodied. Mika provided me with a safe space to make peace with some of the things I’ve been grappling with as I go through a transitional period in my life. I feel she is exactly where she is meant to be in her work. Her warmth and passion for the human experience comes through in every word she speaks. I can’t recommend her highly enough.”

Mimi – Client

“Wow, Mika is awesome. I got further with her in one session than I have over several weeks on my own. Mika is professional, empathetic and great at mining out subtleties with her listening skills. I highly recommend spending some time with Mika to help guide a flashlight on your issues and get on the right track. 5/5 for Mika Bell Counselling.”

Kristian – Client

“Mika has an acute ability to listen and helped me learn about my mind. She helped me navigate the turmoils and pace of modern life. Coming to see her was a relief from life’s challenges. She chose her practice with care and working with her was life-affirming. She brought a loving and hopeful nature to our group counselling sessions. She had excellent self-awareness for us all to learn from.”

Anne – Client

“I have had the privilege of knowing and working alongside Mika Bell for years, and I am always in awe of her natural ability to connect and support the people she works with. Her passion for what she does, combined with her knowledge, skill and experience, creates a beautiful therapeutic experience for her clients”
