About me
Welcome!
I’m Betul, a Psychotherapist based in London, and the founder of Therapy Atelier. http://www.therapyatelier.co.uk
This is therapy with direction!
I don’t offer surface-level coping tips, clichés, false comfort or generic advice. I offer real therapy, grounded and intelligent. I work with truth, emotional insight and real transformation.
If you’re ready to do the work, not perfectly, not all at once, but with integrity, together we can create real, lasting change.
At Therapy Atelier, I work with individuals, couples, children and adolescents, helping them navigate life’s complexities with curiosity, compassion and courage. Every person brings a unique story so every therapy process is shaped accordingly.
Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, bereavement, family issues, low self esteem or just feeling sad, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Therapy with me is a collaborative process; challenging at times, but always forward-looking.
Training, qualifications & experience
At Therapy Atelier, Betul Balci combines her 15 years of clinical expertise with an artisan’s eye for the unique story each person carries. Her approach is not one-size-fits-all; it’s a thoughtful, bespoke process shaped around who you are and what you need. With a background in counselling psychology and a commitment to depth and authenticity, she guides clients toward genuine transformation with compassion, clarity, and courage.
Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
