Psychologist specializing in Person-Centered Psychotherapy

Die Beratungen werden ausschliesslich in Türkisch und Englisch angeboten.

We know that professional support can be transformative when navigating the changes, uncertainties, and challenges encountered at every stage of life. As I accompany you on your life journey, my goal is to support you in discovering your own potential within a safe, non-judgmental space. In my practice, I prioritize approaching my clients‘ needs with a holistic perspective. I integrate „Somatic Experiencing“, a method focused on the nervous system and body awareness, into my work, which is grounded in a Humanistic approach. In this way, I offer support for your personal growth journey from cognitive, emotional, and somatic perspectives. I specialize in the impact of early life experiences on our present lives, emotional regulation difficulties, relationships, and personal boundaries. Additionally, thanks to my in-depth knowledge of Turkish culture and my multicultural approach, I provide support during migration and adaptation processes.

My psychological service focuses on following areas

  • Support for emotional regulation difficulties
  • Coping with uncertainty
  • Relationship issues
  • Boundaries
  • Self-compassion
  • Support during life transitions (migration, education, career)
