About me

Hey! My name is Selin, I have a Master’s in Child & Adolescent Psychology, and further training & experience especially with young adults, but also of all ages. I’m experienced in providing clinical support to children, their families, and young adult LGBTQ+ individuals. During one-on-one conversations, I’ve helped people navigate issues like sexuality & identity, depression, anxiety related to being in a foreign country, addiction, sexual problems, PTSD, family dynamics, social relationships, academic challenges, self-confidence, insecurities, personal growth and numerous different complex issues.

Originally from Cyprus, I grew up in a bicommunal country and spent my adult life in Amsterdam. I understand the struggles of adapting to a new country, the challenges of growing up, and how life can sometimes throw things at us that makes us feel lost. In those moments, we often just need a bit of guidance and space to hear our own voice.

I find it a pity that it is somehow still to this age very difficult to receive help with such long waiting-lists and complicated procedures. But when challenges arise, that’s exactly when help should be available. Therefore, my goal is to make therapy as accessible as possible for you by striving to be there as support, especially during times where life can feel overwhelming and too much to handle alone.

Merhaba, ben Selin! Yüksek lisansımı Çocuk & Ergen Psikolojisi alanında yaptım, ve özellikle genç olmak üzere her yaştan yetişkinle çalışma konusunda ek eğitim & tecrübe sahibiyim. Çocuklara, ailelerine ve genç LGBTQ+ bireylere klinik destek sağlama konusunda deneyimliyim. Yeni bir ülkeye uyum sağlamanın, büyümenin ve hayatın bazen insanı kaybolmuş hissettirmesinin ne kadar zor olabileceğini iyi anlıyorum. Böyle zamanlarda, bazen sadece biraz rehberliğe ve kendi sesimizi duyabileceğimiz bir alana ihtiyacımız olur. Bu yüzden amacım, terapiyi olabildiğince erişilebilir yapıp hayatın bunaltıcı ve zor anlarında size yardımcı olmak.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioral therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
Positive psychotherapyRecommended for those who want to focus on building strengths, increasing happiness, and enhancing their overall well-being, rather than just focusing on problems.
Solution-focused therapyRecommended for those who want quick, practical solutions to their problems without focusing too much time on the past.
My approach is eclectic, meaning I tailor my methods to fit each individual rather than adhering to a single framework. I believe that different approaches work for different people, and even the same person may benefit from different methods at various points in their life. Together, we will assess what form of support could be most helpful for you and create a roadmap based on your needs. Above all, I offer a non-judgmental, open space where you can express yourself freely, without fear of being misunderstood or dismissed.

Therapeutic approaches that I draw from and am trained in (and still in training for):

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT)
Positive and Transcultural Therapy (PTT)
Trauma-focused CBT (In-training)
EMDR (In-training)
Addiction treatment and counselling (In-training)
