About me

I am a Clinical Psychologist originally from Turkey and currently based in the Netherlands. After being born and raised in Turkey, I moved to the Netherlands to complete both my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Clinical Psychology. Alongside my international background, I have experience working within the Dutch healthcare system as well as with clients from diverse cultural backgrounds internationally.

I provide therapy in both Turkish and English, and I also have a good understanding of the Dutch language. My approach to therapy is culturally sensitive, collaborative, and tailored to each individual’s needs. I work with evidence-based treatment methods while integrating different therapeutic approaches and techniques to find what works best for you. I believe therapy is a process we navigate together — combining professional knowledge with your own experiences and strengths.

If you have any questions or would like to see whether we are a good fit, feel free to book a free initial meeting session :)

Approach

Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioural therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
Holistic approachRecommended for those who want to address their mental health through a balanced focus on mind, body, and spirit.
Schema therapyRecommended for those who want to break out of negative patterns or "schemas" that they developed early in life and keep repeating.

I provide culturally sensitive therapy and have experience working with people from diverse cultural backgrounds. I believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy, so I integrate different therapeutic approaches and techniques to find what works best for you as an individual.

My approach is collaborative and team-oriented — I bring my professional expertise, while you bring your expertise in your own life and experiences. Together, we work side by side to better understand challenges, build on strengths, and move toward meaningful change. You do not have to face things alone.
