About me and my therapy practice
At times, life can bring moments when we feel disconnected from ourselves, overwhelmed by emotions, or uncertain about the way forward. Meaningful change begins with self-awareness and acceptance. When we understand what we truly need, we create the space to take ownership of our lives and move towards meaningful growth. My role is to support you in exploring your inner world, understanding your experiences, and reconnecting with your authentic self. I trained as a clinical psychologist in Türkiye and now work as a ÌÇÐĹÙÍø-registered counsellor in London, alongside my clinical work in an inpatient mental health setting.
I support adults experiencing depression, anxiety, low self-worth, trauma, loss, and significant life transitions. Having navigated cross-cultural experiences myself, I have an appreciation for the complexities of identity, belonging, and finding a sense of home within changing circumstances. I offer therapy sessions in both English and Turkish.
My approach is rooted in Gestalt therapy and enriched by mindfulness and body awareness, as the body often registers what we feel before we can put it into words. I believe each person carries their own inner wisdom and capacity for growth, and I would be glad to walk alongside you. If you'd like to see whether we might be a good fit, email me.
