Ilknur Girgin, MA, UKCP Reg.
Welcome to my website
From time to time we are all faced with life’s challenges. These may be current struggles or they may be difficulties from the past which are now impacting the present.
As a psychotherapist I aim to offer a safe, warm and confidential environment to help you to make sense of what is happening, how you are navigating the world today and what has shaped you in the past as well as helping you to explore your inner resources to live a more fulfilled and meaningful life.
The settings I have worked in have enabled me to gain extensive experience of working with a wide range of people and the difficulties they have encountered. My Integrative Psychotherapy education and subsequent training enables me to draw from different theories and provide you with a therapy experience unique to you.
I can help you with a range of issues, including:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Stress
- Bereavement or loss
- Relationships
- Self esteem and lack of confidence
- Addictions and compulsive behaviour
- Work stress or issues
- Emotional or physical abuse
- Feelings of being different
- Post traumatic stress (PTSD)
- Cultural Issues
- Identity
- Meaninglessness
- Life transitions
- Postnatal Depresssion
- Fertility issues
This list is by no means exhaustive and I am open to helping you work through whatever has brought you to therapy.
Ultimately, I believe that the success of therapy is down to the relationship between therapist and client so it is important that you choose the right person for you. I offer an initial appointment to see how we might work together and for you to see if I am the right therapist for you.
Different options that can help you
Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy is an opportunity to explore and work towards making deeper changes and connections. I offer open ended and short term therapy, which can be carried out in person, online or over the telephone.
Clinical Supervision
I am a qualified clinical supervisor, offering individual and group sessions in person and online to qualified and trainee psychotherapists and counsellors, providing a collaborative and supportive space to supervisees.
For Organisations
I offer Reflective Practice and Critical Incident Debriefs for organisations in person or online. Reflective Practice offers professionals the space to explore and think about the work they do and the impact it has on them and the organisation.
