Hello, my name is Elcin and I’m a fully qualified and experienced British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP) accredited therapist. I’m based at CBT and Counselling Surrey’s Dorking practice, overlooking the beautiful Surrey Hills.

I provide a safe, confidential space where you can explore these feelings and take steps towards improving your mental wellbeing.

Background & Experience
My journey into therapy began with a lifelong fascination with psychology and a desire to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives. After a successful corporate sales career in London, I followed my passion to retrain as a counsellor, earning my Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling alongside various specialist certifications in areas such as trauma, suicide bereavement, and anger management.
Throughout my professional career, I have gained extensive experience working across diverse settings. This includes providing counselling for Age UK to support elderly individuals, and working within a hospital-based foundation offering therapeutic support to cancer patients and their families. I also work closely with a suicide bereavement foundation, supporting individuals struggling with suicidal ideation and families navigating the complex grief of loss to suicide.
I am committed to the highest professional standards and regularly engage in continual professional development. My background in both corporate environments and specialised charitable sectors allows me to bring a grounded, empathetic, and versatile perspective to my clinical practice.
