Welcome to my profile.My name is Pinar, I am an Integrative Psychotherapist. I combine different therapeutic tools and approaches to fit the needs of my clients.I work with children, adults and couples.In this day and age one in four people go through some kind of emotional or psychological difficulties throughout their lives.If that is how you have been feeling you are not alone, i am here to help you come to terms with your difficulties and help you resolve them with you.

Are you struggling with life and work demands? Are you facing difficult life transitions or perhaps have lost pleasure in activities that you once enjoyed? Maybe you cannot identify what is troubling you, but just know that things don't seem quite right. I appreciate that taking the first steps and reaching out to someone can be daunting, so it is important to find a therapist that you feel comfortable working with. Whatever the reason that brings you to therapy, together we can create a treatment plan that suits your needs, so that you can lead a more fulfilling life.

I offer both in-person and online therapy. I have over ten years’ experience working in the mental health sector, helping people overcome and manage their difficulties, be it in their personal or professional lives. I specialise in working with anxiety, depression, OCD, bereavement, health difficulties, and relationship counselling. I work with both adults and young people and can incorporate a number of different therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, systemic therapy, Acceptance and Commitment therapy, schema therapy, and compassion focused therapy.

Welcome! I'm Dr Kez Salaheddin, Clinical Psychologist & I specialise in Adult Mental Health with over 10yrs experience working across the NHS & private sector. I understand that everyone's journey through therapy is unique & very personal, you may have a clear idea of what you want to address, or you may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed or feel that things generally are not going the way you expected to in life. My approach is NOT to see you through a diagnostic label, but to offer you a safe space where you can develop skills, a deeper understanding of yourself, your relationships & process experiences (past or present).

As an Integrative therapist, I employ the Psychodynamic and Humanistic modalities to create a dynamic approach that delves into both your past and present experiences. This integration of therapeutic models serves as a powerful catalyst for your personal growth, enabling a profound exploration of your sense of self. Emphasizing a non-judgmental space, I provide you the freedom to authentically unravel your true self, unencumbered by masks, expectations, or defenses. Listening without judgment is paramount in this therapeutic journey, fostering an environment where you can voice your truth. In the words of Rumi, "The cure for pain i

Do you feel like you are struggling with life? Are you feeling anxious or depressed? Perhaps you are experiencing relationship or work-related problems or have noticed that you tend to fall into the same emotional traps again and again? Taking some time out to explore your thoughts and feelings and develop strategies for moving your life forward could be of long-term benefit to you. I am more than happy to support you with your journey.

I see individual and couple clients with a wide range of issues. They include problems within relationships, parenting issues, bereavement, stress at work, low self-confidence and more. Often a client might feel a loss of hope and meaning in their life; they might have problems regulating their moods or coming to terms with aspects of themselves and decisions they have made. By coming into therapy, they seek to build a trusting relationship in which they open up, explore, let go of difficult emotions and complex thinking and beliefs.

What’s keeping you up at night? Have you experienced trauma? Do you want to live healthy, have happy relationships, find meaning and purpose in your life, and find direction? Unanswered questions and a lack of guidance make us feel anxious, depressed, and make it difficult for us to cope in life. I’m here to help. I am a trauma-trained psychotherapist working in a person-centred way meaning I will work with you to pull out the answers that lie hidden within you. I will sit with you in the darkness - at the bottom of your soul - offer you a helping hand, guide your way, and lift you up to help you grow into living authentically.

Sometimes we just need someone to talk to, outside of our immediate circle, who will listen without judgement. There are so many reasons why we seek counselling and for each person these reasons may change over time. Whilst counselling for one person may be about releasing and being heard, for someone else it may be to work on the past or for another to work on current challenges or towards a future goal. Driven by the nature of our work together, I employ creative and/or practical methods, depending on your preferences and what you feel you need from your sessions. As each client’s needs vary, so does the therapy that I provide.

I am an experienced Psychodynamic Counsellor, who has worked in a range of settings and sectors, with a wide range of clients. My way of working involves helping clients to gain increased understanding of the way events in the past continue to influence present circumstances. A specialist in transcultural and inclusive therapy, clients see me for a range of reasons: including: anxiety, depression, feeling overwhelmed / stuck / confused or being out of sorts for no particular reason. I offer open ended therapy (where the client decides when they are ready to leave counselling) and fixed term sessions according to client need.

I am an integrative Clinical practitioner.Sometimes it's hard to reach out when you need help. Its takes a brave to come forward. I offer my clients a space to express and explore the issues. The importance of a therapeutic relationship is to build an alliance and a connection to work together. They will develop trust and security as we make sense of your current challenges and difficulties.
