PSYCHOTHERAPIST ILKNUR SAHIN I am a BABCP accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT), Compassionate Mind Trainer (CFT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) practitioner with more than 10 years of experience working within the NHS and in private practice. I provide solution focused and goal-oriented psychotherapy to help people better make sense and manage their difficulties, overcome emotional suffering and help them live a meaningful and happy life. My values: I have reached out to people from all walks of life with different life challenges. I recognise that everyone is unique and important and I respect you for seeking support as it can be tough talking about things that are emotionally and physically painful. I will not judge you on your past or the things you do, say or feel. I am aware that you are the expert of your problem and I will be there for you to overcome it. With my non-judgemental, accepting and compassionate stance, I hope to offer you a platform where you feel safe and comfortable to share your difficulties that cause you pain and distress now. I believe in empowering and encouraging people to see their strengths and resilience to start their journey of recovery.
