About Me

Learning to understand and regulate emotions is important for children to build healthy relationships with themselves and those around them. Being able to express feelings and experiences in a safe environment helps children work through emotional and behavioural challenges, develop self-confidence and emotional resilience as they grow. It is equally important for parents to receive support while improving their relationship with their children and learn how to manage everyday challenges.

With 7 years experience, I create spaces where children aged 3-12 and parents feel heard and understood. We explore emotions and difficult experiences in an empathic and non-judgemental space. I also support adults who carry the impact of childhood experiences into the present. I help adults to recognize their patterns and break the cycle they have been repeating unconsciously, develop emotional regulation skills and build a compassionate relationship with themselves.

I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical and Community Psychology from University of East London and Bachelor’s degree in Counselling Psychology from Yeditepe University. I am a certified Child-Centered Play Therapy practitioner and an accredited Triple P- Positive Parenting program provider. For adult therapy, I offer EMDR Trauma Therapy (Level 2) training and integrate Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Action and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into my work to support clients with practical, evidence-based strategies for a long-lasting change.

My approach is empathic, collaborative and personalised to each individual’s needs.

I offer sessions in both English and Turkish, in person and online.

If you have any questions or are considering therapy for yourself or your child, please feel free to get in touch by phone or email. I also offer a free 15-minute consultation call to discuss your needs and answer any questions you may have.
