About Me

I am a psychologist based in İstanbul and Tekirdağ, seeing clients in Nişantaşı, Bakırköy, and Çerkezköy. I treat anxiety and guide personal development. I offer art therapy, counseling, and skills training in a direct, practical style.

Approach

Based in İstanbul and Tekirdağ, my sessions move between gentle creative tasks and straightforward skill-building so the work feels practical and alive. I use both English and Turkish, matching pace to how you show up—sometimes quiet observation, sometimes hands-on making—and I offer short practices to try between meetings. Sessions are collaborative: we set small, achievable steps and reflect on what felt useful. People seeking clearer coping with anxiety and steady personal growth often find this pace helpful.

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.
