About me and my therapy practice
I am an integrative psychotherapist with extensive experience supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds in various settings, including my work with the NHS. I offer a safe and non-judgmental space to work together in creative ways to take a journey through the therapeutic landscape and achieve discoveries of insight and change.
I have a particular passion for intercultural therapy, helping clients navigate cross-cultural challenges with sensitivity and understanding. Being a native speaker, I can support clients in Turkish as well.
Before becoming a psychotherapist, I practiced as a lawyer. This gives me a unique perspective on the demands of corporate life and its impact on emotional well-being and enables me to connect deeply with professionals navigating high-pressure careers.
Practice description
I take great care in allowing my clients to co-create every aspect of our therapeutic relationship in a collaborative manner. We will, together, agree on a course for therapy that serves your needs.
I commit bringing an open and non-judgmental attitude to therapy that hopefully allows clients to feel safe and open in return.
I do not see it as part of my practice to diagnose clients, but I am available to help clients understand what diagnoses can bring up for them.
My first session
Once you decide to start psychotherapy, we will have an initial 30-minute session over the telephone or on Zoom during which you can tell me about yourself and what you would like achieve in therapy. It also gives me an opportunity to tell you more about myself and how I work. You can ask any questions you may have on psychotherapy therapy in the initial session.
If you decide to move forward with therapy, we will agree a regular day and time each week for our sessions for 50 minutes.
