About me
I spent my formative years in Turkey where I was born. Following the completion of my undergrad, I left and moved around to places such as the Czech Republic, Scotland, Spain, Greece, Portugal, and currently call Berlin, Germany my home. 📍
My academic journey started with a Bachelor's degree in Sociology, followed by a Master's in Anthropology. Recently, reinforced by my role in People and Culture teams as a Recruiter and People Partner, I've also expanded my theoretical and practical knowledge into Psychology through further education on systemic coaching.
Both in my professional and personal lives, I make sure to navigate in harmony with my core values: authenticity, fairness, inclusivity, reliability, and a dedicated focus on human and animal rights.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
CoachingRecommended for those who want support and motivation to achieve personal or professional goals, often with a structured, goal-oriented approach.
Holistic approachRecommended for those who want to address their mental health through a balanced focus on mind, body, and spirit.
Systemic ApproachRecommended for those who want to look at how different systems—like family, work, or society—affect their behavior and relationships.
My initial introduction to coaching came through a western approach which traditionally follows an individualistic lens toward reflecting on present and past factors contributing to your wellbeing. As my awareness and intuition evolved, I began to understand the only way through healing is within community and by analysing societal factors which shape us and largely impact our emotional security. 💡
Despite the prevalent 'individualism' in Western societies, our lives are anything but isolated, and we remain integral components of the broader social fabric. Acknowledging this, I integrate Alfred Adler's encompassing psychological approach into our sessions. This approach highlights the influence of various social dynamics—such as love, family, friendship, work, and society—on the composition of our lives. By importing these insights into our discussions, we gain a better understanding of the interplay between individual experiences and the broader societal context, fostering a more holistic approach to personal development. ✨
With a strong foundation in the social sciences' main branches, I feel confident to help you interconnect the pieces of these social systems that shape our human experiences. My objective, in our sessions, is to provide a guidance through these dimensions within the narrative of your own life—whether it involves navigating the complexities of our social circles or manoeuvring through the currents of a global world where we have to wear multiple identities.
I'll be happy to support you with some common themes as follows:
✔️ Personal development and self realisation
✔️ Strengthening relationships in key social dynamics
✔️ Improving self-awareness and removing self-limiting beliefs
✔️ Navigating the process of building a life and career in a new country as an immigrant and POC
✔️ Stronger soft skills (i.e. communication, empathy, conflict resolution, decision making...)
✔️ Career coaching
✔️ Leadership coaching
