Life can be complicated

Sometimes the challenges we face are obvious. Other times, there is a deeper layer influencing how we experience relationships, family, work, grief, life transitions, or the choices we make about our future.

For many people, culture, identity and belonging are woven throughout these experiences. 

Questions about where you fit, how you see yourself, and how others see you can quietly shape the way you move through the world.

I offer a warm, collaborative space where we can make sense of what is happening and help you move towards a life that feels more aligned with who you are and how you want to live.

Areas of support

I work with people experiencing:

  • Anxiety

  • Stress and overwhelm

  • Burnout

  • Depression

  • Grief and ambiguous grief

  • Relationship difficulties

  • Family conflict

  • Trauma and intergenerational trauma

  • Surviving political conflict

  • Loneliness and isolation

Together, we can explore what is happening in your life, build understanding around your experiences, and find ways forward that feel meaningful for you.

 

My approach

I believe therapy works best when you feel comfortable being yourself.

As someone who is multicultural, Turkish and American, and who has lived in different parts of the world, I understand what it feels like to fit in and not fit in at the same time. To feel connected to different cultures, communities and identities while also navigating the complexities that can come with them.

My approach is warm, collaborative and grounded in the belief that you are the expert in your own life.

I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches, including Brainspotting, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Motivational Interviewing, Harmonic Brain Healing, Mindfulness and Breathwork, while always tailoring therapy to your individual needs.

I also work from a trauma-informed and intersectional framework, recognising that every person's experiences, identities and circumstances are unique.


Hi, I’m Chelsea

 
 
I believe there are many benefits to building a trusting therapeutic relationship and collaboratively tailoring therapy to meet your individual needs. I also believe every human being has the capacity to heal. Sometimes accessing that resilience can be difficult to do on our own, and that is where our journey together can begin.
