She brings several years of experience across NHS, academic, and private settings, offering compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to each person’s unique needs.
Her therapeutic approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which she adapts flexibly to support clients with their individual goals. Dr Aksu offers both long-term, exploratory therapy and short-term, solution-focused interventions.
At Schoen Clinic Chelsea, Dr Aksu specialises in supporting young adults, particularly around issues such as anxiety, low self-esteem, body image concerns, and eating disorders, from early intervention to more deep-rooted and complex presentations.
