About me

Merhaba! Lisans programından 2012 ODTÜ KKK, yüksek lisanstan ise 2017 Ege'den mezun olarak çalışmalarıma başladım. Lisans eğitimimde yurtdışı değişim programı ile 2011'de Graz Üniversitesi Avusurya'da,2015'te yüksek lisans eğitimimde Ruhr Üniversitesi Almanya'da bulundum. 2021'de EMDR Avrupa Akredite Eğitimini tamamladım. Yaklaşık 10 senedir alanda aktif olarak çalışmalarımı yürütüyorum.

Hi! I have a BA Psychology from the Middle East Technical University NCC, an MSc in Family Counselling from Ege University. I have a European approved certificate of Trauma Therapy with the EMDR Method. I have been trained in the Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Research Methods. In addition to these, I continue my studies on existentialism.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
EMDRRecommended for those dealing with trauma who want to process painful memories in a structured way to reduce their emotional impact.

Her terapist gibi kendi terapi yolculuğumdan geçerken yaşamımda şimdiye kadar zorladığım alanlardan birisinin de yurtdışında yaşamak ve eğitim almak olduğunu fark ettim. Adaptasyon ve kişinin bireysel yolculuğunu değerlendirmesinin bu süreçte daha çok önem kazandığını gözlemledim. Türkçe terapi imkanı sunabilecek bir terapist olarak da burada olmam gerektiğini düşündüm. Genel olarak bilişsel davranışçı terapi, EMDR yaklaşımları ile ilerliyorum. Depresyon, kaygı bozuklukları, travma, stres, baş etme becerileri, ilişkiler, adaptasyon ve oryantasyon üzerine çalışıyorum.

When I got my own therapy, I realized how diffucult to adapt both living and studying on abroad. Adaptation and my own mindset journey became more important than usual times. Based on my personal experiences, I thougth that as a Turkish-speaking psychologist, my job is to support individuals who live abroad and have trouble finding a Turkish-speaking psychologist. My main working areas are depression, trauma, anxiety, everyday life stress, coping strategies, adaptation and orientation. Based on my observations, the need for psychological support is on increase with the onset of the pandemic, and I am here to help you.
