Hi, I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) committed to providing a compassionate and non-judgmental space where clients feel heard and supported. I work with adults (18+) experiencing low mood, anxiety, depression, stress, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), trauma-related symptoms such as motor vehicle accident–related trauma, ADHD, panic attacks, and major life transitions. I offer therapy sessions in both English and Turkish.

My approach combines a relational, humanistic foundation with practical, evidence-based modalities such as CBT, DBT interventions and more. Therapy may include skills such as;

• paced breathing

• mindfulness and grounding

• behavioural activation

• exposure and avoidance reduction

• cognitive pattern work

• problem-solving

• emotion regulation strategies and more.

My journey to becoming a therapist stems from my early work with children and adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder. I saw the profound impact therapy had on their emotional and social growth, which inspired me to help others navigate their challenges. My own life transitions highlighted the value of emotional support, deepening my commitment to guiding others. This passion, combined with my interest in human behavior, led me to pursue a career in therapy to make a positive difference.

With extensive experience working with clients from diverse backgrounds, I provide culturally supportive, individualized therapy sessions that honor your unique values and experiences. Sessions are flexible and collaborative, allowing you to guide the focus while I provide guidance and support where it’s most helpful.

I don’t just sit back and say things like “I understand” or “How does that make you feel?” I show up honestly, challenge you when it matters, share moments of humour when they arise, and we work together toward meaningful change.
