Zeynep Akgül, MSc
Clinical Psychologist
“I am a Clinical Psychologist with a master’s degree in Clinical Psychology, working from a psychodynamic/psychoanalytic perspective. In our work, we explore not only current symptoms, but also the emotional experiences, past relationships, and inner patterns that shape how you feel, think, and relate to others today — within a safe and supportive therapeutic space. I also offer a 15-minute introductory call to help you decide whether working together feels right for you.”
