About me

I am a psychotherapist/psychologist with a master’s degree in Clinical Psychology, and I am a full member of the Turkish Psychological Association as well as a Graduate Member of the British Psychological Society (GMBPsS). I have 7 years of experience providing psychological support and psychotherapy across different settings, including private practice, community-based mental health services, and humanitarian and post-disaster psychosocial support projects. I provide psychotherapy for adults, adolescents, and couples in English, Turkish, and Kurdish.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioural therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
Person-centred approachRecommended for those looking for a supportive, non-judgmental space where they can lead the conversation and explore their feelings at their own pace.
Trauma informed careRecommended for those who have experienced trauma and need a safe, supportive space to heal at their own pace.

I work with a client-centered, culturally sensitive, trauma-informed, and integrative approach, believing that each person has the capacity to grow and find new ways of coping when provided with the right support. Depending on your needs, I may draw on different therapeutic approaches, including psychodynamic thinking, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and EMDR-informed techniques.

In our sessions, I offer a safe and compassionate space where you can share your thoughts and feelings without judgment. Together, we can work through challenges such as stress, anxiety, depression, burnout, grief, trauma, abuse, relationship difficulties, self-esteem concerns, migration experiences, or major life transitions, and gradually build the tools you need to move forward with resilience.

I have supported individuals from diverse cultural and social backgrounds, including people navigating panic attacks, emotional overwhelm, emotional eating, difficulties with boundaries, family dynamics, loneliness, identity and belonging, sleep difficulties, and the impact of past experiences on their present lives. My aim is to walk alongside you as you make sense of your experiences, reconnect with your strengths, and develop therapeutic tools that can support healing, resilience, and self-understanding.
