About Me
Approach
Services
I provide individual and group counseling services with a focus on emotional well-being, using creative methods inspired by art-based practices and dialectical approaches. My work is grounded in a holistic and inclusive framework, supporting people through reflective, expressive, and strength-based strategies.
I have experience working under supervision with a variety of age groups and neurodiverse individuals, including those on the autism spectrum (e.g., a previous client with Asperger's). My goal is to offer a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can better understand themselves, manage challenges, and feel supported.
Sessions are available in English and Turkish.
