About me

I have experience working with a diverse range of individuals, including: Adults navigating life transitions and managing stress Women working through relationship challenges and low self-esteem Individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, and self-doubt People facing cultural integration challenges or adapting to new environments Those looking to build resilience, emotional well-being, and a deeper sense of self-compassion This is a BIPOC & LGBTQIA+ friendly space, where all identities are welcome and respected. I’m a counselor with a passion for helping people transform their relationship with themselves and their lives. Having lived and worked in various European countries, I understand how challenging it can be to adjust to new cultural environments and cope with personal challenges. My approach is informed by my own experiences of overcoming life transitions and building resilience. I believe counselling can be a powerful tool to heal wounds, find clarity, and develop the confidence to live authentically. I would love to provide you with a safe and supportive space to share your story, process your emotions, and take meaningful steps forward.

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 behavioral therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.

Holistic approachRecommended for those who want to address their mental health through a balanced focus on mind, body, and spirit.

🤝 My Counseling Style: As an ACT-based counselor, I help you build psychological flexibility by guiding you to accept difficult thoughts and emotions without letting them control your life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping you connect with your values and take meaningful action toward the life you want to lead, even when faced with challenges. We’ll work together to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, with an emphasis on mindfulness and self-compassion. Through this process, you’ll develop healthier ways of responding to stress, anxiety, or self-doubt, and start moving forward in a way that aligns with your true self. 📆 Recommended Session Frequency: I suggest starting with weekly or bi-weekly sessions, with flexibility to adjust based on your progress. As you begin to feel more confident in your ability to manage challenges, we can transition to monthly or as-needed sessions. When you're ready, we'll wrap up with a closing session to reflect on your journey and empower you to continue independently. 📃 Important Information - Payment & Cancellation: Sessions are privately paid and not covered by national health insurance. If you need to cancel or reschedule, please provide at least 24 hours' notice to avoid being charged the full session fee. In case of emergencies, rescheduling may be offered at my discretion. 📱 Follow Me: Stay connected and inspired on social media! Find me on Instagram: @pelin_counselling
