I am offering online therapy in English & Turkish for expats, as an expat myself. I take the shared cultural influences and challenges of living abroad into account while focusing on every individual's unique experience.
As a Clinical Psychologist who holds 2 Master's and several work experiences in Psychotherapy Clinics & Research Labs, I have in-depth experience with the treatment of psychological problems. My main focus is on Psychotrauma, Anxiety Disorders, ADHD, and Sense of Identity.
Next to obtaining my certification in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I am also developing my own intervention that combines Imagery Rescripting with Acting. My intervention is targeting the traumatic past events that are currently influencing your actions & relationships, and harnessing your future-self with concrete skills to be able to cope with similar events that can be encountered in the future.
As a therapist who approaches people with an open mind and empathy, I am passionate about creating personally-tailored interventions and techniques for each of my clients based on their specific needs and individual differences.
Embracing diversity and free expression, I provide a non-judgmental safe space for my clients to feel comfortable in fully expressing themselves in their authentic way and to feel heard and understood regardless of the topic they choose to bring into our sessions.
