About me
Hello, my name is Bulgun Suchinova. I am an Integrative Gestalt Therapist and EMDR Practitioner with ten years of experience, working in North London and online.
My approach combines Gestalt and person-centred foundations with a trauma-informed perspective, allowing therapy to address immediate difficulties while also fostering meaningful, long-term change.
People come to therapy from different starting points. Some are looking for help with anxiety, stress, or depression. Others are struggling with recurring difficulties in relationships. Some already know that trauma or EMDR work is what they want. My approach is designed to meet people at these different entry points while offering one coherent way of working.
Anxiety, Stress & Depression
I can support you if you’re struggling with anxiety, panic, overwhelm, low mood, stress, sleep difficulties, or challenges adjusting to life changes and transitions. We can start by helping you feel more stable and cope with immediate difficulties, while also exploring the deeper reasons behind these feelings over time.
Relational Difficulties & Attachment
If you're finding yourself repeating patterns in relationships, going through a breakup or feeling lonely, therapy can offer a path forward. You might find it hard to communicate, set boundaries, or feel good enough in relationships. Together, we can gently explore these experiences and find new ways of connecting that feel safer and more fulfilling.
Trauma and EMDR
I also offer direct trauma-focused therapy and EMDR for people who want to work specifically with traumatic events, PTSD, C-PTSD, attachment wounds, or difficult experiences that continue to affect the present. This is a clear area of expertise in its own right and an important part of the way I work.
