About me

I live in Istanbul, which is a very cosmopolitan city and I have a chance to meet people in different nations and cultures in both my personal life and professional life as a psychologist. I believe that people are different from each other and all must be equal based on human rights. I have respect for the diversity of cultures and these diversities develop my professional approach. In addition, I studied psychology in English with cosmopolit academic staff. Also, I participated in training programs that are related to my profession; they are international. After the worldwide pandemic, I put my profession forward; got used to online work (online therapy sessions) as a psychotherapist and I had some clients abroad as well. I am still continuing this online work beside face to face therapy.
