Assistant Psychologist · BPS-registered · Therapy in English & Turkish
Acelya Sarioglu is an Assistant Psychologist at Tower Bridge Hospital London, working with adults experiencing anxiety, low mood, stress, relationship difficulties, and the everyday psychological challenges that benefit from structured therapeutic support. She speaks English and Turkish.


Acelya is an Assistant Psychologist working in private practice at Tower Bridge Hospital London. Her clinical work focuses on the kinds of psychological difficulties that don't always need consultant-level psychiatric input but benefit from structured, evidence-based therapy — the gap that GP-led services often can't fill.
Her approach is integrative, drawing on cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based modalities, adapted to what the client is bringing. Sessions are 50 minutes; courses of work are agreed openly at the start and reviewed periodically.
She speaks English and Turkish. Many of her clients prefer to work in Turkish, particularly when the issues involve family dynamics, generational concerns, or cultural identity — the conversations that work better in your first language.
The range of work this clinician does at the clinic. Some appointments are routine; some sit at the boundary of where a specialist referral is needed, and we'll say so.
Work-related stress, anxiety disorders, panic, social anxiety, performance anxiety. Practical CBT-based work alongside the deeper exploration that some clients need.
Mild to moderate depression, persistent low mood, motivation problems, behavioural activation work. Onward referral to psychiatry if medication assessment is indicated.
Difficulties with partners, family members, work relationships. Individual therapy work on the patterns and beliefs that play out in close relationships.
Confidence and self-worth work, identity-related concerns, perfectionism, imposter feelings. Useful for many high-functioning clients who don't meet criteria for a clinical diagnosis but want focused therapeutic support.
Career changes, relationship endings, becoming a parent, bereavement, migration-related adjustment. Therapy can be the right space to work through transitions rather than push through them alone.
Sessions in Turkish for first-language Turkish-speaking clients. Particularly useful for the kinds of work that involves family, culture, identity, or growing up bilingual.

Most consultations are 30–45 minutes for an initial assessment, shorter for follow-ups. You’ll be seen in a single appointment, with bloods, ECG or other tests (if needed) usually done on the same visit.
Results from on-site tests are typically back within 24–48 hours via TDL (our laboratory partner). Follow-up consultations are scheduled to discuss results, refine treatment, or make onward referrals. With your consent, we write to your NHS GP so your record stays joined-up.
Where your case needs a different specialist, Acelya refers to a panel of trusted clinicians across London — matched to your specific need. We don’t take commission or referral fees from any external provider.
The clinic is recognised by major UK private medical insurers including Bupa, AXA Health, Vitality, Aviva, Cigna and WPA. Pre-authorisation is usually required. For self-pay patients, fees are confirmed before any test, procedure or report is started. Full pricing is on our price list.
