Approach

Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioral therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
As a developmental psychologist who has lived abroad for over eight years and is now based in Türkiye, I bring a strong understanding of cultural diversity and the unique challenges involved in adapting to new environments. These experiences have shaped my belief that each individual has their own story, strengths, and difficulties. Guided by this perspective, I approach my work with sensitivity and care, offering individualized psychological support that is responsive to each person’s needs, with the aim of helping them feel understood, respected, and supported throughout their personal journey.
