Aylin Darwin

I am a psychotherapist working in private practice and offer therapy in both English and Turkish. I trained as a psychotherapist at Birkbeck College, University of London where I completed a MSc in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy. I am a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and follow their code of ethics.

I have experience of working for large mental health charities and in community mental health settings providing support for vulnerable adults and individuals from diverse backgrounds. Prior to becoming a psychotherapist, I worked for several commercial companies in various roles and so understand the stress and pressures of working for large organisations.

I work with people experiencing a range of emotional challenges including depression, anxiety, trauma, work stress, life transitions or family and relationship issues. I have a particular interest in the emotional difficulties of migrants, refugees and other displaced persons.

I view each of my clients as unique and valuable, and am committed to providing a safe, supportive, and reflective space to help them work through any difficulties. I employ a psychodynamic approach in my practice. This enables me to help people increase their ability to understand their feelings and relationships with others, and work to improve their experience of life. I help my clients to understand the underlying motives behind their behaviour and emotions and give them an opportunity for positive and lasting change.
