About Me

I’m a Turkish psychologist based in London, offering online therapy sessions in both Turkish and English.

I completed my undergraduate degree in Psychology at Boğaziçi University and my Master’s in Clinical and Community Psychology at the University of East London, graduating with honors.

This training not only equipped me with essential therapy skills like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Systemic Therapy, but also shaped how I understand people in the context of their identities, communities, and cultures.

For my thesis, I developed a Turkish-translated neurological test set for the NHS, designed to better serve Turkish-speaking individuals in the UK.
