## EDUCATION

I studied Psychology and English Language & Literature and later completed an MA in Clinical Psychology. My training includes clinical assessment, psychometrics, and psychoanalytic/psychodynamic psychotherapy.

## EXPERIENCE

I work with adults in psychotherapy and clinical assessment. I also have experience in school counselling and multidisciplinary work with children, adolescents, families, teachers, and other mental-health professionals.

## APPROACH

My approach is psychoanalytic. In therapy, we pay attention to recurring patterns in relationships, feelings, and ways of understanding yourself, including things that may be difficult to notice or put into words.

## THEORETICAL BASE

My thinking is influenced especially by Winnicott and Bion, particularly their work on relationships, emotional experience, and the therapeutic setting.

## SESSIONS

Sessions last 45 minutes and usually take place at least once a week, at a regular day and time. I work primarily face-to-face in Kadıköy. Online sessions are used when necessary. Changes or cancellations should be communicated at least one week in advance.
