I’m Sureyya and I’m so glad to have you here, as I know the possibility of change and transformation comes from taking the smallest of steps. I specialise in working with women who identify with having people pleasing or perfectionist tendencies.

A bit about me; I am an integrative counsellor and the founder of the Healing through self-compassion tm method. I began training to become a counsellor over a decade ago. Prior to qualifying I taught A level Psychology. I have always been fascinated about what makes us tick, what drives our behaviour, what the influences and experiences are behind our persona’s and personality traits.

At the age of 27 I experienced severe burnout. I was chronically stressed and anxious, unable to say no to others and desperately out of touch with my own needs. I felt as though my best was never good enough and every external achievement I made, left me feeling just as empty as the last.

I now experience so much joy and self-acceptance. I truly believe life is so much better when we learn to be kind to ourselves, and I’d love to be part of your journey of reclaiming your happiness.

with love,

Sureyya
