About Mystica
Mystica Furey works with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self esteem, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting strain, anger, career questions and coping with life changes. She draws on a mix of approaches and uses practical conversation and focused work to help people manage symptoms and make short- and longer-term changes. Mystica is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 14 years of professional experience.
She prefers a straightforward, person-centred way of working. Sessions are shaped around what the client brings. That may include looking at thoughts and behaviour, examining attachment and relational patterns, or setting specific short-term goals to deal with an immediate problem.
Mystica uses techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy, attachment-based work and solution-focused methods alongside trauma-focused approaches such as EMDR where appropriate. She explains methods in clear terms and involves people in decisions about the work. This helps clients understand what happens in sessions and why certain tasks are suggested.
She has worked in the UK and abroad, which informs how she responds to multicultural concerns, experiences of prejudice and discrimination, and issues such as paranoia or phobias. Mystica also works with process addictions including porn, exercise and gambling problems.
Sessions are practical and conversational. Mystica aims to support people to try different ways of coping and to review progress regularly. To begin, people choose the service's matching route and book an initial appointment.
How her therapeutic approaches work online
Attachment-based work looks at how past relationships shape current feelings and patterns. Online sessions can be used to notice relational themes, practise new responses and reflect on how early experiences affect present behaviour.
Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. In sessions clients identify unhelpful thinking, try behaviour experiments and learn practical coping strategies for anxiety, low mood or stress.
EMDR is a trauma-focused approach that involves guided processing of traumatic memories and associated feelings. When EMDR is discussed it is explained step by step so clients know what to expect and can give informed consent to proceed.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, and together they will choose which methods to try first. That collaborative process may include switching or combining approaches as progress is reviewed.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which formats are offered before booking. Many people find online counselling helpful because it can fit around work or family commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework to suit each person's day-to-day life.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
