Mrs Aylin Shilling (She/her)Social Worker

Aylin Shilling is an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker (AMHSW) and Medicare registered therapist offering individual counselling and psychotherapy for adults and adolescents (16+) in Essendon and online across Australia. Aylin takes a relational and attachment-informed approach to therapy, drawing from Schema Therapy, CBT, DBT, and psychodynamic approaches. She has a particular interest in working with anxiety, attachment and relational difficulties, emotional regulation challenges, intergenerational and complex trauma. Aylin works collaboratively with clients to understand the deeper patterns shaping their experience — building insight, self-compassion, and lasting change. In addition to her clinical work, Aylin provides professional supervision for social workers and allied health professionals, as well as personalised AMHSW accreditation mentoring for social workers pursuing their AMHSW credential. Both services are available in person in Essendon or via telehealth anywhere in Australia. In-person sessions are available on Fridays in Essendon, with telehealth available Monday to Wednesday (and Fridays if available). After-hours appointments available after 5pm Fridays. Medicare rebates available with a Mental Health Treatment Plan from your GP.
