About me
I am a psychological counselor from İstanbul but I am working wıth diverse group of people from different cultures and backgrounds. I believe that everyone who takes responsibility and action for their well-being journey has the need to be understood by a professional who guides and accompanies them throughout the process or at least until where the professional support is needed. I started to work as a counsellor directly after my graduation, and I worked in different schools, clinics, and hospitals. I attended trainings such as EMDR, Art therapies, Dynamic therapy approach, Somatic experiencing... and I became a certified EMDR and Art therapist. I am especially experienced in working with people with a wide range of diagnoses, from schizophrenia and bipolar to depression and obsession. I offered some group therapy and individual sessions for diverse groups. I believe that a recovery-oriented approach is much more successful than a illness/diagnose-focused approach. I have a keen interest in community-based mental health systems. In this regard I worked in a peer college in Netherlands founded by people with different diagnoses and was amazed by experiencing how people can find creative ways for their own well-being while suffering from mental health illnesses. I took part in projects that aim to establish an accessible mental health system for everyone in my country. In my daily life I regularly practice yoga and like to exercise daily. I sing, dance, play guitar, and paint to experience the healing effect of art since my childhood.

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.
CounsellingRecommended for those who want to talk through their emotional challenges with a professional in a safe, supportive environment.
EMDRRecommended for those dealing with trauma who want to process painful memories in a structured way to reduce their emotional impact.
I use an eclectic approach in my sessions, taking into account the needs of my clients. I am based on the expressive effect of art, the ability of EMDR to reprocess the negative effects of the past, and a relational approach between the client and the counselor, depending on the topic and the client's bringing to the session.
