About me

Hi! My name is Dilara. I have a background in clinical neuropsychology and experience working with adults facing a variety of psychological and neuropsychological challenges. I create a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where clients can feel truly heard and supported.

In my work, I have helped individuals navigate stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional regulation, self-esteem issues, and cognitive difficulties. I combine evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and dynamic psychotherapy, along with compassion-focused therapy. I also take an eclectic approach, tailoring methods to each person's unique needs and goals.

I believe therapy is not just about addressing difficulties, but about fostering growth, resilience, and self-understanding. My goal is to support you in exploring challenges, discovering new perspectives, and finding balance—always at a pace that feels right for you.

Merhaba! Ben Dilara. Klinik nöropsikoloji geçmişimle yetişkinlerle çalışıyor, hem psikolojik hem de nöropsikolojik zorluklarla baş etmelerine destek oluyorum. Amacım, kendinizi güvenle ifade edebileceğiniz, şefkatli ve yargısız bir alan yaratmak.

Çalışmalarımda stres, kaygı, depresyon, travma, duygusal düzenleme, özsaygı ve bilişsel güçlükler gibi çeşitli konularda bireylerin yanında oldum. Terapi sürecinde Bilişsel Davranışçı Terapi (CBT), EMDR, dinamik psikoterapi ve şefkat odaklı yöntemler gibi kanıta dayalı yaklaşımları kullanıyorum. Bunun yanında, her danışanın ihtiyaçlarına göre yöntemleri birleştirip esnek ve kişiye özel bir yaklaşım benimsiyorum.

Terapi benim için sadece sorunları çözmek değil; aynı zamanda kendinizi keşfetmek, güçlenmek ve yaşamda dengeyi bulmak için bir yolculuk. Bu süreçte yanınızda olarak, zorlukları birlikte keşfedebilir, yeni bakış açıları geliştirebilir ve kendinizi daha iyi anlamınızı sağlayabiliriz.
