About Me

I am Gulin Aydin, a Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist based in Waterloo, Ontario, specializing in trauma, PTSD, and EMDR therapy. I have over a decade of experience in the mental health field, and currently run my own clinic, EMDR KW Counselling, where I focus on providing specialized trauma-informed care using EMDR therapy. As a Certified EMDR Consultant, I am deeply committed to supporting fellow therapists. In addition to practicing EMDR, I offer supervision and consultation to newly trained EMDR therapists, helping them build their confidence and enhance their clinical skills in applying EMDR effectively. My goal is to ensure they feel competent in using this transformative therapy with their clients. I hold a Master of Social Work from Wilfred Laurier University, complemented by advanced EMDR training in Boston and Chicago. My clinical background spans across various settings, including the Waterloo Region Nurse Practitioner Clinic, Woodstock Area Community Health Centre, and Carizon Family and Community Services. In addition to my EMDR expertise, I am also a Certified Mental Health & Nutrition Clinical Specialist, which allows me to integrate holistic approaches such as nutrition and mindfulness into mental health care. I am passionate about helping clients heal on all levels—mind, body, and spirit. I also have specialized training in sex therapy, addressing issues around intimacy and relationships that are often intertwined with trauma and emotional health.
