About Me
I am a psychologist in Rotterdam, Zuid-Holland, Netherlands. I offer Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and individual psychotherapy for adolescents and adults. I help you develop skills to manage emotions and strengthen relationships.
Approach
Curiosity and clear values-guided aims shape how I work—slow, practical steps help you notice what matters and build manageable habits. Sessions in Rotterdam or online (conducted in Turkish) are collaborative and paced to your needs, often blending spoken reflection with simple body-awareness and creative exercises. Between meetings I suggest short, doable practices to strengthen new responses and to track what shifts for you. This way suits adolescents, adults, expats and caregivers ready to try embodied, creative and values-focused change.
