UKCP accredited Clinical Gestalt Psychotherapist
Trauma Informed Psychotherapy & EMDR
Hi, I’m Ayhan
Counsellor, Psychotherapist & EMDR Practitioner
I am a caring and compassionate counsellor, psychotherapist & EMDR practitioner who is familiar with the life challenges we humans sometimes experience. Many circumstances can cause a great deal of suffering, such as the loss of a loved one, adversity in childhood or later in life, events that cause high levels of stress, or work arrangements that are not aligned with our needs. Over the years of my practice I learnt that a holistic approach to therapy helped many clients to feel better about themselves.
I am a UKCP accredited Gestalt Psychotherapist and I graduated with an MSc in Gestalt Psychotherapy from Metanoia Institute in London. All services described on this website are offered online / remotely.
Counselling Services:
Counselling & Psychotherapy
Many clients who work with me often lose themselves in the service of supporting their loved ones, family, friends and colleagues, before they start looking after themselves. While values of kindness and care for others are fundamentally positive, they can cause stress, low mood and anxiety for those who miss to establish self-care. Counselling & psychotherapy can help you to reprioritise your self-care and emotional wellbeing.
Couples Counselling
Clients who seek to work with me often feel as if they don’t fit into the popular narrative: Man and women fall in love, they procreate (and have amazing sex all the time) and live happily ever after. Unfortunately this binaried narrative troubles many of my clients and the consequences for not fitting in can be overwhelming.
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing (known as EMDR) is a method that helps to address deep rooted unhelpful patterns and beliefs that cause stress. It is one of the most studied approaches in the the treatment of Post Traumatic Stress and PTSD.
A Somatic Approach to Emotional Wellbeing
It is normal that we humans tend to avoid difficult feelings, such as guilt, shame, grief, fear, anxiety and sadness. Because our organism is creative, we can easily learn not to feel feelings by desensitising from our bodies. As a gestalt psychotherapist, I am trained to work with body experience and to support clients gently to regain a sense of safety in their bodies.
Stress & Resilience
Many clients who seek my support experience various degrees of stress from overwhelming past experiences that still impact on them even though the event has passed. These type of problems are often addressed as trauma, which may sound like a big word, but all it means is literally “wound“.
Psychotherapie auf deutsch
Viele Menschen finden es schwierig mit psychotherapeutisch Arbeitenden in Kontakt zu treten. Daher freue ich mich besonders, dass sie meine Seite gefunden haben. In der eigenen Muttersprache lässt es sich oftmals einfacher reden, besonders über Dinge die einem nahe gehen oder am Herzen liegen.
