Hi, I'm Ayhan, thank you for visiting my profile page.
Embarking on the journey to find the right therapist can seem akin to traversing through unknown lands. I appreciate that such a venture is layered with doubts, potential hesitations, and a myriad of questions. In our duty-bound and demanding world, choosing to prioritise mental health is a commendable step, a representation of your courage, tenacity, and the quest for a more enriched life.
As a UKCP registered psychotherapist, my therapeutic approach is deeply rooted in my gestalt training, enriched with elements of EMDR and Internal Family Systems.

About Me:
My pursuit of psychotherapy stems from a profound curiosity about the intricacies of human experiences and has evolved into a fervent dedication to aiding individuals to navigate the complexities of life. My distinctiveness is not just anchored in my extensive five-year MSc in psychotherapy but also in my unwavering commitment to understanding the unique narratives of each individual.
I embarked on my psychotherapeutic journey in 2014 with roles in the voluntary sector and the NHS, transitioning to private practice in 2017. A native of Germany, I relocated to London in 2010 and spent two years in Marbella, Spain, offering psychotherapy services to English and German-speaking communities.
