Embarking on a journey of self-discovery and healing can feel daunting, but you’re not alone. I’m here to offer a supportive and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Whether you’re navigating questions about sexuality, relationships, or personal challenges, we’ll work together to find clarity and growth. I’m Ekin, a clinical psychosexologist offering online sessions in English and Turkish. I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychosexology from Sapienza University of Rome and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychological Science from the University of Padua. While my clinical focus includes sexuality and gender-related concerns, I also support patients navigating anxiety, low mood, ADHD, identity questions, trauma, and life transitions. My academic and professional journey has focused on the complexities of human sexuality, identity, and how these intersect with culture and mental health. Through my training, I’ve explored how gender dysphoria is understood and managed across different cultural settings, how early parent-child dynamics influence emotional development, and how multicultural identity can impact one’s sense of belonging and wellbeing. I also worked as a research assistant on projects investigating chemsex, HIV & intersectionality, and homonegativity, further deepening my understanding of how stigma and structural inequalities shape mental health outcomes. These experiences continue to inform my clinical work, helping me stay attuned to the broader systems and internalized beliefs that shape each person’s experience of themselves, their relationships, and the world around them. Growing up across multiple countries, I understand the emotional weight of navigating different cultural landscapes. This perspective helps me connect with patients who carry feelings of disconnection, displacement, or uncertainty about where they belong.
