About me
My name is Desire Azizoglu. I grew up in Istanbul and am of Turkish, Austrian, and Armenian descent. I studied Theatre—Film and Media Sciences in Vienna and worked in film sciences in Istanbul and arts and culture in Berlin. After a time of reflection and of reorientating myself, I realised that I wanted to use my knowledge, time, energy, motivation and life experience in a field where I could support and accompany people on their path, whether this should entail emotional problems, mental health, psychiatric symptoms, life-changing events or their exploration of their personalities and their personal growth.

Approach
I work with a variety of complementary treatment methods that you could check out on my website. In the centre of my approach stands the individuality of each person. And because everyone is different, I continuously learn new methods and gather more skills so I can offer each person multiple ways of support exactly in the way each person is open to receiving. I work invitational and trauma-sensitive. I believe that, inherently, each person knows what's best for them; they might just have become detached or distracted from that inner knowing. If you decide to work with me, it would be an honour to support and accompany you on your journey to find out how to help yourself in the best possible way.
Experience
I‘ve been working in private practice as a holistic therapist and mental health facilitator since 2020 in Berlin.
Before that, I used to work as a mental health professional and a social worker, focusing on refugees who needed psychological support and counselling immediately after arriving in Berlin.
Earlier than that, I worked as a student advisor and as an academic researcher at the Istanbul Bilgi University.
I offer my services in German, English and Turkish.
