About me
I graduated with high honors from Boğaziçi University, majoring in Psychology, and I am currently completing my Master's degree in Clinical Psychology at Istanbul Bilgi University with a full scholarship. Throughout my training, I have conducted psychodynamic psychotherapy sessions with adult clients under supervision, as part of my university practicum. My professional experience also includes conducting clinical interviews, administering projective tests like the Rorschach and TAT, and contributing to community seminars following the 2023 earthquake in Türkiye.
My background is enriched with various voluntary and academic engagements, including work with children and adolescents, and participation in research labs focusing on social and cognitive psychology. I continue my education in psychodynamic psychotherapy under supervision and attend professional trainings from experienced analysts and congresses in areas such as short-term therapy and sexual health. My therapeutic style is relational and reflective, rooted in the belief that lasting change emerges through insight, emotional understanding, and the therapeutic relationship.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
Psychodynamic therapyRecommended for those looking to explore their emotions deeply and understand how past experiences shape their present life.
My therapeutic style is relational, reflective, and grounded in the belief that lasting change occurs not through advice or quick fixes, but through insight, emotional presence, and the working through in the therapeutic process.
In psychodynamic psychotherapy, unconscious processes are be safely explored and understood. Drawing from psychoanalytic theory, I pay close attention to early relational experiences, internalized object relations, and how these shape current emotional and interpersonal patterns.
Rather than focusing solely on symptom relief, therapy becomes a space to engage with deeper layers of the self — particularly through the exploration of transference and countertransference within the therapeutic relationship. I view this relationship as a vital medium through which unconscious material is enacted, experienced, and ultimately worked through.
