Mrs Nivedita Gunesh Özkan
Clinical Psychologist
“As a clinical psychologist specializing in child and parent psychology, I am dedicated to fostering the mental and emotional well-being of children and families. My approach is grounded in holistic assessment, evidence-based practices, and a strengths-based approach, with a commitment to culturally competent care.”
About Me
As a clinical psychologist, I guide children and parents through challenges, fostering emotional well-being for the whole family. My work is rooted in holistic assessment, exploring each family's unique strengths and cultural background. We use evidence-based practices to develop practical strategies. This tailored approach creates a safe space for children to thrive. Parents feel empowered, finding effective ways forward on their journey.
Approach
That attention to culture and family strengths shapes how I structure session time and follow-up. Sessions move at a steady, child-friendly pace, blending play, brief assessment moments and collaborative problem-solving with parents; between sessions I offer clear, practical strategies and short check-ins to track progress. I use English, Turkish, Russian, French or Hindi/Urdu in person in Istanbul or online to keep communication accessible. Families seeking hands-on, practical steps to improve behaviour and relationships often find this way of working helpful.
