I am trained as a Couple and Family Therapist and accredited with the International Family Therapy Association (IFTA). I practice counseling both online and offline for Turkish and English speakers and work with couples and individuals. My approach is integrative which both covers psychodynamic and systemic understanding. Currently, I offer face to face and online psychotherapy for my patients.I put the uniqueness of the person at the center of my work and believe that the deep relational experience between therapist and each client is so important and valuable for the therapeutic process. I offer a creative space and a non-judgemental environment in which clients can develop self-awareness and find their authentic self. In terms of couple therapy, I consider that the relationship itself is a third person in the room so I regard overcoming gridlocks and uncovering latent patterns between partners as significant.
