Don't just take my word for it..........

"I came to Nalan having been diagnosed with depression - but I felt that somehow there was more to it than just the diagnosis. It turns out I've had a long-term depressive condition since adolescence which, combined with an issue from my childhood, meant that I had some long-term patterns that were damaging to me.

Nalan is a wonderful therapist, with incredible empathy and insight, so her help has been invaluable in helping me become a better-functioning person. With Nalan’s help, I have been able to understand my ’natural' emotional responses and, with the coping tools she has armed me with, modify my behaviour.

She also has a gift for creating an environment where you feel able to speak freely and honestly, without any judgement. This is so liberating and cathartic, I feel I have made real progress with Nalan’s help and am developing a more optimistic outlook on life - perhaps for the first time ever."

Craig London SW17

"Nalan is brilliant. Her genuine warmth and commitment in each and every session is so appreciated; I feel genuinely heard and never judged, and I leave each session feeling so empowered. Her tailored approach means I've been able to make progress incredibly quickly, and she strikes a great balance between listening & sharing her expertise. I would highly recommend her.'

Mollie- London SW6

"I began therapy with Nalan in 2021 and have continued since then. Nalan's toolbox of techniques from CBT, grounding and conventional therapy/counselling and most recently coaching - has supported me during some of my darkest times. Her ability to understand my triggers and then explore those emotions (past and present) with techniques for me to manage and take away is reassuring and comforting. I would highly recommend Nalan as she is extremely knowledgable, patient and kind, both as a professional and person. Nalan is very thoughtful, friendly and helpful. I highly recommend her.”

"Nalan is truly professional, personable and humanistic in her approach. She is insightful, intuitive and skilled practitioner and creates such a safe space to discuss and explore sensitive issues. Therapy can be a daunting step to take and I feel that Nalan has not only eased me into it but is a perfect guide for my journey towards healing. She has really helped me navigate my own life and understand my mind and feelings whilst equipping me with the tools to empower myself."

"After moving to London from America it took me a while to find a counselor that I clicked with and then I found Nalan. I was looking for something more long term then the limited CBT sessions from the NHS because that’s what I know I need. Since working with Nalan I have become more self aware and learned tools to cope with my anxiety outside of the sessions.  I look forward to continuing my sessions on my journey for self improvement."

Kate London SW6

"I had previously tried several different therapists - NHS and private - and had never seen the value in it or found it useful. It was always something I had wanted to try but I didn’t want to waste my time or money. 

I found Nalan online and dropped her a message, which was a big step for me. I had no expectations of our first session based on my previous experience of therapy. 

From the minute I spoke to Nalan I realised that I had simply been paired with the wrong therapists previously, and sticking with this could have a huge impact on my life. She was warm, kind and full of great advice. She has given me tools and guidance that I have taken away and applied in real life circumstances, which has helped me to handle things I once thought I couldn’t. Our sessions have been invaluable to me and given me a new perspective. Some of the things I was once afraid of confronting I now look forward to chatting about! I am so grateful to Nalan for the support and compassion she has shown me, and for changing my outlook on therapy as a whole."

"I had dismissed therapy having had a few unsuccessful attempts with other therapists.  Finding Nalan was a game changer.  It's a two way conversation with engaging and thought provoking responses that make my sessions feel positive and productive."
