Clinical Psychologist, Psychotherapist

A kinder, more flexible relationship with yourself is possible.

I bring together evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy and schema therapy, grounded in ethical practice and empathic communication.

Sessions take place in person at my office in Ataşehir, Istanbul, or online.

Sessions can be held in Turkish or in English.

I also run psychological well-being workshops for organisations.

Methods

Evidence-based, person-centred methods

CBT

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

Helps you notice the cycle between thoughts, feelings and behaviour, and build more helpful patterns.

ACT

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

Rather than fighting difficult feelings, ACT helps you make room for them and move towards a life that reflects your values.

Schema Therapy

Schema Therapy

Aims to understand long-standing patterns rooted in childhood and to address emotional needs that went unmet.

TEDx

Manipulation behind the mask of love

In this 2025 talk, delivered in Turkish, I explore contemporary perspectives on love, awareness and communication, and how we can recognise manipulation that hides behind affection.
