About me
Hello,
I am a passionate, compassionate, and dedicated therapist. There is sincere joy in my practice, stemming from self-actualization, through which pain becomes purposeful and meaningful
I hold a bachelor's degree in philosophy, which provided a psychology-rich education. I took numerous psychology courses as well as philosophy courses related to psychology, such as Freud, Jung, and Philosophy of the Unconscious, Philosophy of Mind, and Philosophies of the Self. I consider this education a solid foundation for therapy, as it emphasizes the art of questioning, logic, and perspective-taking, in addition to the scientific aspects of the field.
Afterward, I completed a pre-master's year in psychology at the University of Groningen, one of the world's top 100 universities. I earned an MSc degree in Clinical Psychology from the same institution. My master's thesis explored 'The Effect of Social Interactions on Self-Esteem and Negative Affect in Psychopathy and Narcissism Groups'. Following graduation, I worked at a clinic in the Netherlands before returning to Turkey.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioral therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
Person-centered approachRecommended for those looking for a supportive, non-judgmental space where they can lead the conversation and explore their feelings at their own pace.
Positive psychotherapyRecommended for those who want to focus on building strengths, increasing happiness, and enhancing their overall well-being, rather than just focusing on problems.
*I also offer a 30-minute free meeting prior to the intake session.*
My practice is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)-oriented, prioritizing evidence-based interventions alongside genuine human connection. I deeply value authenticity, creativity, neurodiversity, cultural diversity, and sincerity.
In my practice, I typically conduct several intake sessions, depending on the client's situation, with a strong focus on accurate classification and diagnosis. During this initial phase, you can expect a combination of screening tools, diagnostic assessments, and structured interviews. Following this, I adhere to Dutch national guidelines and relevant protocol books specific to the diagnosis to ensure the most effective therapy possible.
Becoming a therapist has been more than just a career choice for me—it is a journey rooted in education, training, and personal growth. I resonate deeply with the Chironic archetype, representing healing and self-actualization. My compassion, empathy, and curiosity are integral aspects of who I am, naturally enriching my therapeutic work.
