About me

I am a Sport Psychologist who has moved a lot and is now in Köln for the last 3 years.

I am a Psychologist with the main practices of -Acceptance Commitment Therapy Practioner -Solution Focused Brief Therapy Practioner -Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Practioner And hope to touch lives for the better in any way that works for them with my expertise. I am a great listener.

Specifically my strongest toolbox is in the area of Sport and Exercise Psychology due to my Master of Science Degree with my main focus points being Motivation and Stress for individual athletes although I also work with teams when they reached out to me. I used to be an athlete and believe that is my biggest advantage when it comes to my profession because I can understand the mind and emotions of an athlete because I had a very similar path.

I am a multicultural person and always open for new things. I believe meeting new people is the way to opening new doors in your brain because you get to understand the point of view from another set of eyes and mind. I have respect for all and I never judge a book by its cover.

I speak:

EnglishTurkish

Location:

Hattinger Straße 893A, 44879 Bochum, Germany

Approach

Treatment Approaches
ACT: Acceptance and commitment therapyRecommended for those who want to stop fighting negative thoughts and learn how to live with more acceptance and focus on what really matters in life.
CBT: Cognitive behavioural therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
Psychotherapy Recommended for those who want to work through emotional or mental health challenges by talking with a trained psychotherapist.
Solution-focused therapyRecommended for those who want quick, practical solutions to their problems without focusing too much time on the past.

I am a psychologist that lets the person lead the way. Take us on a journey or just focus just on a solution. I listen to the client and try to defince which therapy technique will fit the situation and is willing for that treatment. My most used technique is making the clients aware of the "HEXAFLEX" based on ACT. The six parts of the hexaflex are: The Present-The Persons Values- Commited Action to the persons values- Self as a Context- Defusion- Acceptance. Getting these six parts to overlap with one another helps the client. Just to figure out which one of the six is not at the place it is wanted to be can get the person closer to a solution. I also use techniques from my Master Degree of Sport and Exercise Psychology
