Background and approach

Leyla does not push for forced positivity but encourages facing difficult feelings so change can happen. Her background includes four years of clinical experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She draws on several approaches to tailor sessions to each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.

Cultural context and personal values are considered important in how she shapes therapy. Leyla also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, intimacy-related issues, and family difficulties. She works with concerns such as abandonment, body image, chronic illness and caregiving stress, communication problems, divorce and separation, and issues connected to alternative sexual cultures.

Sessions are offered in English and Turkish and can be arranged for people inside and outside the United Kingdom. Her style suits people who want honest, goal-focused conversations and practical ways to manage life’s challenges.

How Leyla’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on giving the person time to talk and be heard without judgement. It helps people clarify what matters to them and make choices that fit their life. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how emotions shape relationships and personal patterns; it supports people who want to understand attachment, closeness and emotional blocks. Existential Therapy invites reflection on values, meaning and personal responsibility and suits people facing big life questions or grief.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy journey. Leyla works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. She will check in regularly and adapt the way she works as the client’s priorities change.

Online sessions offer practical benefits for busy or geographically dispersed people. Video calls allow fuller conversation when seeing facial cues matters, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier for a quick check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter updates or when typed reflection feels more comfortable. These options give flexibility in scheduling and help people fit therapy into daily life without long travel times.
