RCC, Relationship/Couples Counsellor, EMDR Practitioner (He/Him)
Warm & Validating · Collaborative · Authentic & Human · Humour · Mind-Body Focus · Patterns & Insight · Emotional Focus
Utku brings a warm, curious and active approach to counselling. He enjoys working with those who already have a sense of what they're struggling with but want a deeper understanding of where those patterns came from. His work is shaped by psychodynamic work and Buddhism and brings together the mind, body and deeper patterns shaped by our early relationships, while making room for culture, identity, belonging and the relationships we have now. Utku offers reflections & guidance when useful, while keeping therapy collaborative and human, and weaves humour into the process
