About me
Hi, I’m Ebru. I’m an MBACP-registered Humanistic Psychotherapeutic Counsellor. I work with adults who want to better understand themselves and create meaningful change, whether that’s finding relief from distress, making sense of repeating patterns, or exploring deeper questions about identity, belonging, and growth.
How Therapy Can Help
When troubling thoughts or feelings keep returning, it can be hard to know where to begin. Therapy offers a space to slow down, reflect, and discover why you might be struggling as well as exploring how things could be different. Together, we might explore:
- Past experiences that continue to shape you.
- Thoughts, feelings, and behaviours you’re grappling with now.
- Fears, dreams, and aspirations for the future.
This process can help you feel more grounded, authentic, and confident, allowing you to inhabit your life and relationships with more presence and in a way that feels true to you.
My Approach
My work is humanistic, relational, and integrative, drawing on Gestalt, Person-Centred, and Transactional Analysis approaches. In practice, this means:
- I aim to understand you within the context of your history, environment, and relationships.
- I offer a warm interest in your emotional wellbeing and a non-judgemental space where we work collaboratively at a pace that feels right for you.
- I believe you are the expert in your own life, and my role is to support you in discovering more of yourself and shaping a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling to you.
Specialist Interests
While I work with a wide range of issues, I have particular experience and interest in:
- Difficult interpersonal relationship dynamics (personal, professional, and familial).
- Shame, anger, and anxiety.
- Neurodiversity
- Intergenerational trauma and its impact on identity and relationships.
- Cultural and cross-cultural identity development.
My Values
Alongside my psychotherapy training, I’m influenced by ideas from philosophy, sociology and politics, which help me consider how personal struggles are shaped by wider cultural and social forces. I believe context matters, we don’t live in a vacuum, and I approach our work with openness, respect, and curiosity about the variance and complexity of your experiences.
Next Steps
In our first session, we’ll explore what brings you to therapy, what you hope to gain, and how we might work together. We can agree a fixed timeframe or work open-endedly, adjusting as your needs evolve.
I offer sessions in Enfield and Finchley, as well as online. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to ask questions or check my current availability. I look forward to hearing from you.

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.
