Hi Jon,
Motors like the one in your mixer have a Start Capacitor, and if these start to fail can cause the motor to run in reverse.
Try changing this start capacitor, probably a 230v 25uF, easily available online for about £10. Make sure you note the polarity is correct when you change it and the issue should be fixed.
