Esra Yaman:
Attachment-Based Therapist (BACP)
Hi, I am Esra Yaman, a qualified counsellor and therapist, and a registered member of BACP. My practice is based in HQ Therapy Rooms in Dalston, Hackney, London E8. I offer both in-person and online therapy services in English and Turkish to clients worldwide.
Through both my personal journey as a client and my professional experience as a therapist, I have come to understand the significant impact of the therapeutic relationship in facilitating change and promoting healing.
I am committed to creating a therapeutic alliance that empowers clients to evolve and heal. In my practice, I prioritize fostering a safe and nurturing environment where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences without fear of judgment.
Drawing from the Person-Centered approach pioneered by psychologist Carl Rogers, I place a strong emphasis on empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity in the therapeutic relationship. This approach acknowledges the client as the expert of their own journey, with the therapist serving as a guide to support their personal growth and self-awareness.
Additionally, I incorporate Attachment-Based Psychotherapy into my practice, focusing on how early attachment experiences shape our present behaviours and relationships. By helping clients explore and comprehend the impact of these early relationships on their attachment style and current patterns of behaviour, I aim to facilitate insight and positive changes that enhance their relationships and overall well-being.
Recent advancements in neuroscience and somatic studies have illuminated the intricate connection between our bodies and minds, revealing how our emotional experiences can manifest physically and impact various aspects of our lives. As a practitioner, I consistently incorporate somatic work to bridge the gap between the body, mind and emotions fostering holistic healing and integration for my clients.
Through the integration of these therapeutic approaches, my goal is to establish a supportive and empowering environment that enables clients to deepen their self-understanding, navigate their relationships more effectively, and embark on a journey of positive transformation and growth. I welcome individuals from diverse backgrounds and life paths, offering both short-term and long-term therapy options to cater to their unique needs.
My professional experience spans a wide range of topics, including depression, anxiety, childhood abuse, relational trauma, attachment issues, relationship challenges, OCD, career development, and personal growth.
