Sevgi Tekin

I am an Integrative Child and Adolescent Psychotherapeutic Counsellor. I work with children, adolescents and young adults experiencing a wide range of emotional and behavioral difficulties including depression, anxiety, bereavement,  self-harm and relationship difficulties.

My way of working with my clients is integrative. This means in my work, I draw from a variety of theories and approaches with  a careful consideration given to each child's and young person’s unique circumstances and developmental stage. I endeavour to offer a free, consistent and confidential space in which children and young people are able to safely explore and express their feelings, thoughts and experiences which they may be distressed and confused by. I am experienced in facilitating the use of creative resources such as the arts and play therapeutically to help children and young people to express themselves if they choose to engage in this way.

I trained at and hold a Masters Degree in Child and Adolescent Psychotherapeutic Counselling from the University of Cambridge. I have over nine years experience in working with children and young people in different settings. In addition to private practice, I have worked in primary and secondary schools in both Cambridge and London and worked for a charity supporting children affected by traumatic life experiences. I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP) and I work in adherence to the Ethical Framework of BACP.

Prior to my counselling training and work, I have gained extensive experience within voluntary and community sectors and have worked for a range of organisations serving people from diverse backgrounds and life experiences. I worked with adults, parents, children and young people offering support and guidance.

I am based in Cambridge City Centre.
