Dr Aylin Düzen, PhD

Clinical Psychologist

Verified

“I work with adults experiencing emotional difficulties, relationship challenges, anxiety, or recurring patterns that affect their well-being. Through psychodynamic psychotherapy, I help individuals better understand themselves, explore underlying emotional processes, and develop more meaningful ways of relating to themselves and others.”

About me

I am a Clinical Psychologist working with adults through a psychodynamic approach to psychotherapy. I aim to provide a supportive, non-judgmental space where individuals can explore their emotions, relationships, and personal experiences with openness and curiosity. Through a collaborative and trusting therapeutic relationship, I help individuals develop a deeper understanding of themselves, recognize recurring patterns, and find new ways of relating to themselves and others. I believe that meaningful change emerges through self-reflection, emotional understanding, and the therapeutic process.

Approach

My approach to therapy is rooted in a psychodynamic perspective, which emphasizes understanding how past experiences, unconscious processes, and relational patterns shape our present emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. I see therapy as a collaborative process that offers a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space to explore emotional experiences, relationships, and personal difficulties. Rather than focusing solely on symptoms, I aim to help individuals develop a deeper understanding of themselves and the underlying patterns that may contribute to their struggles. I believe that meaningful and lasting change becomes possible through greater self-awareness, emotional understanding, and the therapeutic relationship itself. My goal is to support individuals in making sense of their experiences, developing new perspectives, and finding more fulfilling ways of relating to themselves and others.
