I understand how messy, intimidating, and overwhelming therapy can be, which is why I strive to provide a supportive, non-judgemental counselling environment for all my clients. I work from a solution-focused and strengths-based perspective, with an emphasis on attachment, mindfulness, psychoeducation, and trauma-informed CBT. My favourite part of therapy is getting to work with clients to identify core beliefs and challenge those pesky negative thoughts. I have worked with clients in person, by phone, and virtually, both on a long-term and short-term basis. I pick my therapeutic approach based on my client’s needs, goals, and timeline.

I provide my clients with various resources, and worksheets to encourage continued learning outside the counselling space. Client care and advocacy are important to me so if I don’t have the right tools you need, I won’t stop searching until I do! Coping with intense emotions can be stressful and heavy, so I enjoy bringing a light energy and some laughter into the counselling room when appropriate. As the saying goes, laughter truly is the best medicine!

I believe in the neuroplasticity of the mind and that we possess the power to shape and mold it to create positive and lasting changes. There is no “right way” to do therapy so I encourage my clients to come as they are and be their authentic self. As a true extrovert, I genuinely enjoy being around people and find the career of counselling extremely rewarding.

Kudret is no longer accepting clients at the intern rate

I draw from a humanistic person-centered therapeutic approach where my priority is to provide a compassionate, safe, and clarifying environment where your strengths and resiliency are celebrated. Therapy looks different for everyone. I intend to honour your unique lived experiences and create a collaborative relationship that explores what the therapeutic journey looks like for you while integrating an intersectional, trauma-informed, and culturally aware framework. My approach will allow goals to be created that are feasible, accessible, and allows for autonomy in the goal making process. As a therapist I strive to build a pillar of trust where I can guide and provide you with tools to navigate whatever you might be facing and feel empowered.

I will also incorporate other modalities to support your needs such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Adlerian Therapy (goal orientated), and Mindfulness. Ultimately, I aim to tailor and create unique treatment plans and frame therapeutic sessions that support your needs and allows for a non-judgmental space to explore the inner workings of yourself. I’m looking forward to working with you and giving space for your journey!

Through my work, I realized how much pressure people experienced in their day-to-day lives and the effects this had on their relationship with themselves and others. Through my therapeutic work, I observed the consequences of society placing such a strong emphasis on perfectionism, a hyper-vigilance on “fixing” oneself, and external merit. Seeing adults, teens, and children struggling to understand their identity, self-worth, and values motivated me to gain expertise in various therapeutic modalities. As a mother of two young children, I wish to continue sharing my support in encouraging children, teens, and adults to reconnect with their values, personal knowledge, unique narratives, and own definition of personhood, while fostering an empowering relationship with themselves.

My therapeutic orientation and counselling approach is client-centered and incorporates Narrative, Adlerian, Rogerian, Cognitive-Behavioural, Play/Art Therapy, and Mindfulness approaches.

I strive to connect with you in a caring and supportive way, recognizing and reflecting on your strengths. Through our work together, my aim is to create an environment where you feel truly held on your journey of healing and self-discovery. Together, we will create space for all the parts of you that are longing to be felt and heard. With compassion and curiosity, we will meet these tender parts and attune to their needs. In doing so, we will cultivate an internal secure attachment and allow your inner wisdom to lead the way to healing, and to serve as an integrated compass to help navigate life’s ups and downs with courage and compassion.

I integrate modalities such as internal family systems, narrative therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy. I am committed to a trauma-informed and anti-oppressive approach, emphasizing safety, consent, choice, and empowerment. My foundations are relational, person-centered, and justice-oriented. I value the importance of feedback and strive to create a relationship that’s creative and collaborative, co-creating a process that resonates with you.
