Counselling in W1U

As an Accredited member of BACP, I adopt high standards, attentively working with client issues , exploring, encouraging engagement and their ability to feel confident and safe. This is vital to aid client sense of trust in the therapist as well as transition into the work. Through exploration and understanding of key issues, I raise awareness and with joint effort of client and counsellor, resolve symptoms and achieve greater understanding and wellbeing. I work in a manner that ensures all clients are treated respectfully and equally regardless of race, gender, religion, presenting disability and issues.

The fact that we are alive, proves we are resilient and creative enough in our attempts to face life’s challenges. At times our experience may become overwhelming or too painful to adapt to, or the adaptation may come with great consequences. The long-term effects of this may lead to anxiety, low mood or lack of confidence. When stress keeps us in its grip for too long, some health problems or physical pain / psychosomatic symptoms may develop as a consequence. You may be feeling that you cannot live fully or express yourself, as if there was a block or a barrier between you and life, you and others, or you and your core self.

Hello! My name is Sedef. I am a BACP Accredited & EMDR Europe Accredited Psychotherapist working with adults, couples, and adult families in Turkish and English. While reading this page, maybe you are sad, angry, or anxious. Maybe you feel hurt, alone, overwhelmed, helpless, or inadequate. You need love, safety, comfort, compassion, and joy.

Would you like to improve your relationship with yourself and your loved ones? If yes, then I’d love to help you in this process.

Do you experience difficulties in a certain area such as career, relationships, self-esteem, health-physical and mental, or maybe there are difficulties in all areas of your life? And even though you understand that something is wrong, you can't pinpoint where and what the problem is. Do you want a career and a decent financial reward, a loving and harmonious relationship with a partner you can count, great physical and mental health and wonderful relationship with family and friends? Then do not procastinate anymore and book a session with me. Together we will try and find out solution to all your problems, step by step.

My ideal client... I am not sure I have one, other than a person that is willing to work through painful material in order to move past the roadblocks that are currently preventing them from living a life that is close to that which they desire. Many of my clients feel that something is holding them back, although they're not always aware what that thing that is holding them back is. Sometimes it is important to identify that thing, other times it's enough to accept it is there, is unchangeable, and that we can still function in spite of that thing that has held us back.

Are you feeling that things around you are too much or that suddenly you cannot cope with life as you used to? Do you find yourself stuck or in the same situation over and over? I know the feeling of being paralized. I personally find it very difficult to ask for help when I'm in a bad place, and to show my vulnerability to others... I don't want to feel judged and I'd like to be encouraged to try and be myself and to talk freely about everything and anything. For me it's vital that my counsellor is really invested in helping me. I invite you to take that difficult first step and let me be part of your journey to get there

Hello and welcome. I’m here to help you find the inner strengths you need to unblock what’s troubling you and move on with your life. My clients tell me I’m warm, kind and insightful – which is good, because my main aim is to offer a safe, welcoming place where you feel willing and able to consider making changes. Most of us aren’t used to reaching out for professional support. We’re brought up to think asking for help can be a sign of weakness. But whatever you’re facing, working together with a professional therapist can let you see a way forward.

Sometimes in life we feel disoriented and troubled, not knowing which way to turn. This is especially true now, with the COVID-19 emergency.

During these times, the gentle support of someone on our side can help bring clarity. Together, we will engage with your deepest worries and explore creative ways of dealing with them.

My clients choose to see me to help them address specific issues or to explore their thoughts and feelings in particular moments in their lives. Whatever the reason I offer them a confidential space where they can allow themselves to open up as much as they are comfortable with. Often issues are linked to self-esteem, self-worth and the difficulty to fully accept oneself. Clients are often able to become more confident in themselves and in relationships as they learn how to be more compassionate and kind to themselves. Therapy can help clients become happier, more fulfilled and successful in their life journey.

Through discussion of the issues which trouble you, you can gain new awareness, insight and understanding. The provision of a supportive and non-judgemental relationship creates a safe space in which you can modify old habits and test out new ways of relating.
