Licensed Clinical Psychologist

verified by TherapyRoute

English&Turkish speaking therapist with 12 years of experience. I offer sessions both online and in person at my private practice in Istanbul. I'm happy to provide a 15-minute introductory call.

About Me

I'm a clinical psychologist based in Istanbul. I completed my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Turkey and have continued to develop my skills through a variety international training sessions, conferences, and workshops. Living in a lively city with people from all around the world, I've worked with a lot of expats from different backgrounds which expanded my understanding of cultural sensitivities. Currently, I offer psychotherapy and counseling services at my private clinic located in Istanbul, as well as through online sessions, offering support to individuals worldwide.

Approach

I started my journey with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in 2016, and it has been an integral part of my therapeutic approach ever since. My goal as a CBT therapist is to help individuals see the connections between their thoughts, emotions and behaviors and challenge the unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaving that keep their problems going. I've also trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy which is a third wave CBT therapy.
