Cansu Gurcan

I work during the week, from Monday through Friday. I can only offer in-person sessions on Fridays.

I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) specializing in conducting individual sessions with adults utilizing a psychodynamic approach.

With my education background in Psychology at Columbia University (USA) and Clinical Psychology at the Istanbul Bilgi University (Turkey), I am well versed in the academic background and the theoretical framework of various psychotherapeutic approaches, which I continually reinforce with continued professional development by attending seminars, conferences and certification programmes.

Psychotherapy is a powerful tool for individuals to better understand themselves, alleviate mental distress, and increase overall life satisfaction.

I understand that beginning therapy can be a sensitive and challenging decision, which is why I am committed to creating a safe, judgment-free, and supportive space where you can freely express your thoughts and emotions.

I have conducted hundreds of hours of psychotherapy and counselling sessions with a very diverse range of clients ranging from university freshmen to an elderly population to clients with psychiatric conditions or special needs. With my diverse experience and academic background in psychology, I am dedicated to delivering the highest quality of care to my clients.

Let's work together to improve your mental well-being and achieve your therapeutic goals. 

Our first session together will focus on getting a sense of why you are seeking psychotherapy, what it is that psychodynamic therapy could offer to you, and any other questions that you may have for me. 

I find that, with most clients, two sessions are needed to go through intake questions, and identify therapeutic goals and expectations.
