About me

I live in Istanbul, which is a very cosmopolitan city and I have a chance to meet people in different nations and cultures in both my personal life and professional life as a psychologist. I believe that people are different from each other and all must be equal based on human rights. I have respect for the diversity of cultures and these diversities develop my professional approach. In addition, I studied psychology in English with cosmopolit academic staff. Also, I participated in training programs that are related to my profession; they are international. After the worldwide pandemic, I put my profession forward; got used to online work (online therapy sessions) as a psychotherapist and I had some clients abroad as well. I am still continuing this online work beside face to face therapy.

My approach

Pyschodynamic approach. Using art therapy and somatic experience in therapy practice. (Somatic Experience Practice especially for the short term therapy process as online or face to face therapy)
