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 my clients 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 my clients 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 eight 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.
