Meet Nilgun (Nina)
A Little About Your Therapist
Hi, I’m a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) dedicated to creating a warm, non-judgmental, and compassionate space where you can feel seen, heard, and supported. I work with adults (18+) navigating a range of concerns including anxiety, depression, ADHD, and life transitions.
My decision to become a therapist was rooted in a deep curiosity about the human experience and a strong belief in our capacity for growth, healing, and connection. I feel honoured to walk alongside people as they explore their inner worlds and move toward greater self-understanding and emotional well-being.
My therapeutic style is integrative and collaborative. I draw on evidence-based approaches such as Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), while grounding my work in a person-centred, trauma-informed foundation. This means I tailor our work together based on your unique needs, values, and goals—always at a pace that feels right for you.
I offer therapy sessions in both English and Turkish, and I strive to provide a culturally sensitive, inclusive, and affirming space for people from diverse backgrounds.
Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply wanting to understand yourself better, I’m here to support you in making meaningful changes and building a life that feels more aligned with who you are.
