About me
Hello, I am Yasemin Demirel. I am originally from Turkey and currently live in Italy. I have completed my master's degree in clinical psychology in Italy. I have lived in different cultural environments that have provided me with a deep understanding of human behavior and mental health. During my academic life, I gained knowledge of psychological theory, research, and clinical frameworks that helped me build an integrative and comprehensive approach to psychological work. Throughout my academic life, I gained experience through different internship programs; I worked in various schools and clinical centers. Lastly, I completed an internship in Italy that provided me with experience working in a multidisciplinary environment. After I graduated, I began my professional practice by providing individual therapy. If you'd like to meet, don't hesitate to contact me.

Approach
My clinical approach is integrative, combining insights from cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and relational perspectives. I believe that psychological difficulties cannot be understood solely through symptoms; instead, it is important to consider the interaction between thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and relational patterns. I have received training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which provides practical and evidence-based tools to understand and modify unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. In my work, I use CBT techniques such as cognitive restructuring and emotion regulation to support individuals in managing anxiety, stress, and low mood. At the same time, my background in psychodynamic and relational approaches allows me to explore deeper emotional processes, including the impact of early experiences and interpersonal relationships. This integrative perspective enables me to work both on present challenges and their underlying causes. I place strong importance on emotional awareness and self-understanding. I aim to support clients in recognizing their internal experiences and developing healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.
