About Leyla Prince
Throughout my 27-year career as a Family and Systemic Psychotherapist and specialist Speech and Language Therapist, I’ve had the unique privilege of working with many individuals, families and couples in therapy, to help them address and overcome a wide variety of challenges. I have worked in various settings, including the NHS, mental health services and private practice.
I offer short- and long-term therapies to my clients. My approach is integrative, drawing on a range of systemic ideas and theories depending on the needs of my clients. I like to approach any therapeutic work collaboratively and with transparency. I include structural, attachment-based, social constructionist approaches and evidence-based therapies, like CBT. Theories I use specific to couples therapy include the Vulnerability Cycle, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and others.
