About Mahalia

Dr. Mahalia Hamilton draws on a background in psychology and counselling to offer a calm, respectful space for people to talk about what matters. She holds an undergraduate degree in Psychology, a Master’s degree in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling and Psychotherapy Practice, and a Doctorate degree in Counselling Psychology, and brings five years of practice experience to her work.

Her approach aims to help people feel heard and understood without judgement.

Background and approach

She often supports people facing anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, or relationship and intimacy difficulties. She also helps with stress, grief, issues around identity and LGBT concerns, sleeping and eating problems, and career-related strain. Mahalia pays attention to how life history and relationships shape current difficulties.

Sessions are built around a person-centred stance that values empathy and honesty. She uses practical techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people manage thoughts and build values-based action. Elements of Attachment-Based and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy inform work on emotion regulation and relational patterns.

People can expect a collaborative style. The counsellor listens first, then offers options and skills to try between sessions. Therapy moves at the client’s pace and focuses on achievable steps rather than rapid change.

Mahalia accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. She works via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, and helps people tailor the format to fit their daily lives.

Online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck. It encourages identifying personal values and taking small actions that align with those values, which can help when depression or anxiety makes motivation hard. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns, useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and discuss which methods seem helpful. Together you can try different techniques and adjust the plan as you learn what fits best for your situation.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into daily life. Video calls let you use visual cues during sessions, phone calls can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, live chat works well for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options give flexibility for people juggling work, family or travel, and let therapists use ACT and CBT tools in formats that suit each person.
