Δύο ψυχολόγοι, ένας ζεστός χώρος

Hi, I’m Milena Polat, a psychologist with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Leiden University.

My professional experience spans Dutch specialist mental healthcare (GGZ) and charitable organisations in London, where I have supported individuals from diverse backgrounds navigating anxiety, depression, trauma-related difficulties, emotional challenges, and relationship issues.

Born and raised in Turkey with Armenian roots, my multicultural background has shaped how I understand the influence of culture, identity, and personal experiences on our well-being.

My approach is integrative and culturally sensitive, drawing on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and schema-informed techniques. I believe therapy is not one-size-fits-all, and that understanding the person behind the difficulties is just as important as addressing the difficulties themselves.

Above all, I aim to create a warm, welcoming space where you feel heard and understood. Together, we can explore your experiences with curiosity and compassion, understand patterns that may be holding you back, and work towards meaningful change at your own pace.
