Buse Ufak

I am a counsellor with a strong academic foundation in psychology and clinical neuropsychology, holding a BSc in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Clinical Neuropsychology. I am currently undertaking a diploma in Gestalt Counselling in London, alongside further training in Existential Psychotherapy in Istanbul. I have also completed advanced training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Compassion-Focused approaches.

With over four years of experience, I work with adults navigating a range of challenges, including anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, burnout, and immigration-related experiences such as adaptation, identity, and belonging.

My approach is primarily Gestalt-oriented, supported by CBT- and ACT-informed techniques. This allows me to work both in the present moment and with practical tools, helping clients develop awareness while also finding meaningful ways forward.

I would describe my style as warm, direct, and compassionate, while also offering gentle challenge where needed. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is central to the work we do together. Creating a space where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood is at the core of my practice.

At the same time, I aim to support you in exploring patterns, deepening self-awareness, and engaging with difficult experiences in a way that fosters growth and change.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or searching for a sense of clarity or belonging, therapy can offer a space to slow down and reconnect with yourself. I welcome you to bring whatever feels important.
