My name is Selin Kucukkaya, I’m an Adolescent Counsellor.

Exploring the intricate connections between our emotions, thoughts, and behaviours has been a lifelong fascination of mine, leading me to pursue a Bachelor’s in Psychology and a Master’s in Neuroscience. These studies have equipped me with a profound understanding of the human mind and its influence on our experiences and relationships. In my counseling practice, I combine insights from psychology and neuroscience to offer a holistic approach to healing and growth, providing evidence-based interventions that complement traditional methods. Living in diverse cultural contexts has enriched my perspective, helping me appreciate the unique challenges and strengths in each individual’s journey. Whether you’re navigating life’s transitions, dealing with mental health concerns, or seeking greater fulfilment, I’m here to offer compassionate, tailored support. My approach is characterised by warmth, empathy, and a commitment to fostering a safe, nurturing environment. If you’re ready for a journey of self-discovery and empowerment, I’m here to walk with you every step of the way.
