About me
I am a clinical psychologist with a master’s degree in Clinical Psychology and extensive experience in mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS), particularly in post-disaster and humanitarian contexts. I’ve worked with international NGOs, local organizations, and digital mental health platforms to provide support to individuals affected by trauma, migration, natural disasters, and systemic disadvantage.Throughout my career, I’ve offered psychotherapy to older adults, individuals with disabilities, adolescents, couples, and migrants. My work has taken place both on the ground in disaster zones and community centers and online, through platforms like Spring Health and The KonTerra Group. I have led multidisciplinary teams, developed psychosocial strategies, conducted training and supervision, and provided short-term and long-term counseling in Turkish, English, and Kurdish. I am passionate about creating safe, empathetic spaces where people can heal, adapt, and build resilience.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
BreathworkRecommended for those who want to use breathing techniques to relax, release tension, and gain more control over their emotions.
CBT: Cognitive behavioral therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
Trauma Informed CareRecommended for those who have experienced trauma and need a safe, supportive space to heal at their own pace.
My therapeutic approach is person-centered, trauma-informed, and shaped by the specific needs and context of each client. I combine evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based strategies, and solution-focused techniques to support clients through emotional challenges including stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and relationship difficulties.I believe that therapy should be a collaborative process where clients feel empowered to explore their experiences in a non-judgmental, supportive environment. Whether working with humanitarian aid workers facing burnout, survivors of disaster, or individuals navigating personal transitions, I aim to help people understand themselves better, build emotional resilience, and take meaningful steps toward healing. I always work with empathy, respect, and a strong belief in each person's ability to grow and recover.
