About Me

I am a CBT therapist, EMDR therapy therapist, couple and family counselor, and sex therapist. I work with adults and adolescents both face-to-face and online. I received my internationally recognized undergraduate degree from Çankaya University, Department of Psychology. Immediately afterward, I began working in the field while receiving training in various schools of therapy. I worked with vulnerable groups within the scope of projects carried out by non-governmental organizations providing human rights-based services in different regions and cities in cooperation with various international institutions like United Nations(UN). At the same time, I continued to work on gender studies. In this process, I received many in-house and non-institutional trainings. I've recently returned to my hometown of Antalya, where I continue to offer individual and couples therapy in my office. I offer therapy and counseling both in person to international clients in Antalya and online to clients from out of town. Besides psychology, I am interested in politics, literature, philosophy, art, and human and non-human animal rights.

Approach

Psychotherapy, rooted in science of psychology, is a set of practices aimed at improving a person's well-being through the therapist's skills. The extent of benefit from therapy depends not only on the therapist's skills but also on the client's motivation. As a therapist, I ethically advocate that the psychotherapy I practice should employ evidence-based methods proven by a sufficient number of scientific studies and studies. Therefore, I frequently ensure that the methods I use are scientifically sound to ensure their reliability. Furthermore, the therapist must keep themselves updated with current research and evolving dynamics. In this context, being open to self-improvement is a daily practice. In doing so, it's crucial not to get bogged down in theory, to maintain a personal connection, and to understand the individual's context. This depends not only on book knowledge but also on the therapist's lived experience and expertise. In other words, their ability to view life from multiple perspectives is shaped directly by their own life practices. The intellectual knowledge thus developed can also indirectly influence their work. I try to build my vision on these and adopt the principle that the therapeutic relationships I develop are positioned on the fine line between the professional and human relations levels.
