Hello I'm Ilkay. I am a Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist. I have worked with many different mental health difficulties and with people from a wide range of backgrounds. I have worked nearly a decade in the NHS and now practicing privately. ​​I am a keen advocate for psychological therapy and reducing stigma around mental health. 

​

As well as treating a variety of mental health difficulties, I specialise in helping people develop healthier strategies to manage OCD symptoms. I also offer support and guidance to people who are anxious around dating and who are looking to navigate effective communication in relationships. If any of this sounds like what you are looking for, book a free consultation now.
