About
I work with children and adults utilizing cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal and family-based strategies. I am a BACP Accredited Psychotherapist, a German Board Certified Psychotherapist, and a member of Counselling and Psychotherapy in Scotland (COSCA). I have received my degree in Child & Youth Psychotherapy from the well-established institute of AKIP (University Hospital Cologne). Before moving to Aberdeen in 2018, I worked as a Psychotherapist in the German Neuroscience Center Dubai. I’m married with three children, aged 26, 18, and 13. I am fluent in English, German, and Turkish.
To alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories and other adverse life experiences to bring these to an adaptive resolution, I offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) sessions. Find more info about EMDR under BLOG.
