Onat is a very intuitive, caring and perceptive therapist who is helping me navigate through an oceanic period that is clearly the most difficult and challenging of my life. He is very proactive and has made me re-evaluate how I view my life from an early age right through to the complex situation I find myself in today. I find him to be the consummate professional with a wide base of knowledge from which he can draw from in order to help chip away at the multi dimensional issues that I face; he does so with wisdom, honesty and with care. His holistic approach to me has been tremendously appreciated and I would have no hesitation in recommending Onat to others.

Onat is a good listener & speaks exceptionally well. In a very short time his experience has made me view my life in a very different way. I'm only at the beginning of my journey but I very much feel I'm in good hands.

Hi, I'm Onat Ozden. I am a doctoral candidate in counselling psychology. My main orientation is Existential Psychotherapy which is a collaborative exploration into the complex subjectivity that is ‘you’. Grounded in existential philosophy, it is most useful for making sense of the fundamental concerns of life that we all suffer from such as meaning, anxiety, isolation, choice and responsibility. I also utilise the Systemic (mainly IFS; Internal Family Systems) and Psycho-trauma approaches and work integratively. Providing a safe and embracing space for my clients are my utmost priority. My work is very relational.

Every now and then, we all come across circumstances that challenge our basic sense of security, identity or significance in life. Although these experiences can be painful and make us feel hopeless, they also provide us a great opportunity of growth through questioning our deeply held personal values in life and beliefs about how the world functions. By illuminating our unique constraints (such as our physical attributes, the culture we are born into, the oppression we experience and/or the privileges we have based on our sexual/gender/race etc) we can start to truly understand our distress and come to construct our own way of being that is both meaningful and fulfilling.

The Existential approach is against labelling our unique personal experiences. Dysfunctional behaviours or unhealthy symptoms are seen as attempts of coping with difficulties and an expression of one’s disconnection from themselves, their surroundings and from reality.

For the past 4 years I have worked with a wide range of clients concerns including anxiety, relationship issues, sexuality, abuse (emotional, physical and sexual) & trauma, spiritual and religious Issues, meaning and purpose.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Onat is thoughtful and kind, a great listener. While Onat is in session with me, I can tell that the sole focus is on my needs and my progress. It's always a calm and open space for me to share and be guided gently. Onat supports my growth extremely well, and ends each session by asking in earnest how the session was for me. I've learned so much while working with Onat and I'm so grateful for that; and, I'm looking forward to the progress ahead!

I am deeply grateful for Onat's insights. They are tactful and I feel heard, and I would easily recommend others give them a try.

What can I say! We've come a long way in such a short time. I started off not knowing which way to turn, where to head. I was without direction, no map, no purpose and no energy. I was in grief from losing a parent, anxious and had mild depression (I've been diagnosed severe depression 10 years previously). Onat's understanding, listening, calm tones and gentle voice helped to ease the tension I felt. Then step by step we gradually ventured into so many previously untouched areas of my psyche and found ways to open them up and set them free. This is where is vast and indpeth knowledge and professionalism really shone for me. We hit a vibe and connected. Now I've come to a place where I know what I want from life and can start making steps. More importantly I feel I have worth and purpose, respect myself and love my life and am grateful for all I have. Thank you so much Onat. I look forward to speaking with you again someday.

Onat’s approach towards therapy has honestly been the best I’ve come across so far.
