About me

I am a trained clinical psychologist from Turkey. I am continuing to work with a wide range of adult clients through psychotherapy in my private practice including traumatic experiences and relational difficulties.

In addition to this, I had various experiences abroad. During my undergraduate life, I studied in Italy for a period and studied in England, Europe and America for Art Therapy Education. For this reason, I think that I can contact people from various parts of the World.

I prefer to work online with clients who do not access to face to face therapy in their languages for varies reasons.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
Art therapyRecommended for those who feel more comfortable expressing emotions through creativity and want to explore their feelings through art rather than talking.
Clinical psychologyRecommended for those who need help with diagnosing and treating more complex mental health issues, often involving assessments and evidence-based treatments.

In my private practice, experiential and psychodynamic therapy with a relational context form the base of my psychotherapy practice and I believe that they are nurturing each other. This approach is based on understanding human beings in a deep way from different point of views, taking into account that human beings can have various desires or conflicts derived from subconscious and/or life issues. According to these approaches, if we can understand those desires and conflicts in a good enough way, we can come close to enjoy life, having meaningful relationships and move away from suffering symptoms.

I am strongly using art therapy in my sessions. According to this approach, it is being tried to built a bridge between life and art. Art is used as a tool in order to understand human beings' desires and conflicts. Art psychotherapists witness that art can be transformational in a constructive way. Through art therapy, I am inviting my clients to use different forms of art that resonate to them and I intend to facilitate this usage, if I believe that art therapy could help to our process with that spesific client.
