About Me

Navigating loss, stress, or major life changes can feel overwhelming. As your psychological counselor and emotional coach, I offer compassionate support, helping you through these challenging times. I accompany you to cultivate resilience and gain clarity. We will develop practical steps forward together. In English, German, or Turkish, I create a space for you to navigate change with confidence.

Approach

When grief or big change arrives, I help you make sense of both feelings and next steps by matching pace to what feels manageable. Sessions available in Köln or online and offered in English, German and Turkish are conversational, practical and gently exploratory, mixing short-term coping tools, reflective questions and mindfulness exercises between meetings. I keep work concrete: small experiments, clear priorities and space for emotion so progress feels steady not rushed. This approach often suits people facing loss, relocation, burnout or relationship transitions.
