About me
I am an English-, German-, and Turkish-speaking MSc. Clinical psychologist and Psychotherapist i.T., trained in the Netherlands and currently doing training in Berlin. Growing up in Germany with Turkish parents and having lived and travelled in many countries, I know what it’s like to be confronted with different cultural identities and circumstances. I find people fascinating and believe through a non-judgmental atmosphere, an encouraging spirit and the right set of skills, everyone should be able to discover their path to a more stress-free and satisfied life.
Currently working in a psychiatric hospital in Berlin.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
Clinical psychologyRecommended for those who need help with diagnosing and treating more complex mental health issues, often involving assessments and evidence-based treatments.
CoachingRecommended for those who want support and motivation to achieve personal or professional goals, often with a structured, goal-oriented approach.
CounsellingRecommended for those who want to talk through their emotional challenges with a professional in a safe, supportive environment.
My approach is empathetic, encouraging client-centred and inspired by principles of cognitive behavioural therapy, as well as meditation and mindfulness. The main focus of my work is to create a non-judgmental space for more self-understanding and exploration. I believe by developing solution-focused skills and helpful resource activation in dealing with stress, we can find a way for you to achieve better self-understanding and peace of mind. In other words, together we work on hands-on examples and central problems and develop skills and better perspectives which you can later transfer to your daily life. Examples of issues you might struggle with could be stress, work-life balance, anxiety, depression, burnout, procrastination etc.
My help is especially directed at people who perceive the threshold for therapy as too high or are on a waiting list condition. You can also contact me when you have the curiosity to work on yourself, get to know yourself better and find better-coping strategies or just want to explore the effects counseling can have. The first session is only half the price so we can find some space to see if we connect. I look forward to working with you.
Disclaimer: I am not a licensed psychotherapist yet. If you are in an acute crisis, or if you consider your own or someone else’s life in danger, I strongly encourage you to contact someone more experienced and trained who can offer you the intensive support and care you may need.
