About me
Hello, I’m Ezgi. I’m a BACP-accredited integrative counsellor and psychotherapist. I work with adults experiencing many different difficulties, including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship problems, and the effects of painful or traumatic experiences.
You may be going through a difficult time, feeling overwhelmed, or noticing that the same feelings and patterns keep returning. Perhaps you understand what is happening but still find it hard to change, or you simply know that something doesn’t feel right. You don’t need to have the right words or a clear starting point, we can find that together.
My approach is informed by psychodynamic thinking, with a particular interest in attachment and relationships. We may explore how earlier experiences have shaped the way you feel about yourself, respond to others, and protect yourself from being hurt. Understanding these connections can help you feel less stuck and give you more choice in how you move forward.
Alongside my private practice, I work as a Primary Care Counsellor within the NHS. I also provide counselling through an employee wellbeing service, supporting people with personal difficulties, workplace pressures, and the emotional demands of working life. My experience includes community counselling and facilitating antenatal and women’s self-esteem group therapy.
How I work
I offer a warm and welcoming space where you can slow down, speak honestly, and feel accepted as you are. I will listen carefully and help you explore what lies beneath the difficulties you are facing. At times, I may gently challenge you or offer a different perspective when I believe this could support you.
As an integrative counsellor, I draw on different therapeutic approaches and techniques, adapting our work to you rather than expecting you to fit into one particular model. Where helpful, I also use inner child work to explore feelings, beliefs, and unmet needs from childhood that may still affect you today.
Therapy can help you understand yourself with greater compassion, feel more able to manage difficult emotions, express your needs, strengthen your boundaries, and develop healthier relationships. We will notice and reflect on the changes you are making as our work develops.
My practice is trauma-informed and culturally sensitive. Your background, identity, and experiences are welcome in the room. We will work together at a pace that feels safe while still creating space for meaningful change.
Length of therapy
I offer both longer-term therapy and shorter-term focused work. We can think together about what feels most suitable for you, without expecting you to make every decision at the beginning.
I am also undertaking further training in Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy (DIT), a focused 16-session approach that explores how recurring relationship patterns may be connected to difficulties such as depression and anxiety.
Getting in touch
Taking the first step can feel difficult, especially if you are used to coping on your own. You are welcome to contact me with questions or share a little about what has brought you to therapy. We can take it from there, together.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I hold an Advanced Diploma and a Diploma in Humanistic Integrative Counselling, an MSc in Clinical Child Psychology, and a BA (Hons) in Guidance and Psychological Counselling.
I work with individuals through my private practice and an employee wellbeing service, supporting people with a wide range of personal, emotional, relationship, and work-related difficulties.
Alongside individual therapy, I facilitate antenatal and women’s self-esteem group therapy.
I am currently undertaking further training in Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy (DIT) at the Anna Freud Centre and Person-Centred Experiential Counselling for Depression (PCE-CfD) at the Metanoia Institute.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.

Other areas of counselling I deal with
I work with people who feel stuck or find the same difficulties repeating in their emotions and relationships. You may be experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, work-related stress, relationship difficulties, loss, or a period of significant change.
I also support people exploring attachment, trust, boundaries, and feeling safe in relationships, as well as the effects of painful or traumatic experiences. My culturally sensitive practice welcomes people affected by migration, displacement, or the experience of seeking refuge.
