I graduated with honours from the English-medium Psychology programme at Marmara University in 2023, and completed the Master’s in Clinical Psychology at Üsküdar University in 2025 with high honours. In 2025 I also began the Master’s in Family Counselling and Education at Üsküdar University, where I am currently working on my thesis.
I work with adults, adolescents, couples and families, in English and Turkish, drawing primarily on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and adapting the process to each person’s needs and goals. Sessions in English are open to expats, international students and intercultural couples living in Istanbul, as well as English speakers abroad.

Frequently asked questions
What is the introductory call?
A 15-minute online call before starting therapy. We get to know each other and talk about what you are looking for and how the process works, so you can decide comfortably whether to continue. It is not a therapy session or an assessment.
Are sessions fully in English?
Yes. Sessions can be held entirely in English, in person in Istanbul or online. Bilingual couples can also mix Turkish and English as feels natural.
How long is a session?
Individual sessions last about 50 minutes. Couples and family sessions last about 90 minutes. Most clients meet weekly.
Is what I share confidential?
Yes. Sessions are confidential under professional ethics and Turkish data protection law (KVKK). The legal limits of confidentiality, such as a risk to life, are explained in the first session.
What is the difference between a psychologist and a psychiatrist?
A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who can prescribe medication. A clinical psychologist provides psychological assessment and therapy and does not prescribe. If needed, a referral to a psychiatrist is made.
