Detailed CV
I was born in Turkey and educated until my early 20s. After my career in engineering, I decided to retrain as a psychologist. I completed every step of my psychology education in England. I have been studying and working in the field of psychology and psychological therapies since 1998. Over the years, I have worked with individuals and groups presenting with a range of psychological problems at the moderate to severe end of the mental health spectrum. I have experience working with adults, youth, couples and groups in a variety of settings. I worked in the NHS for 10 years in: Community Mental Health Teams (CMHTs), GPs, psychiatric hospitals, psychology and psychotherapy departments, Improving Access to Therapies Service (IAPT). I have also provided therapy at non-profit counseling centers, universities/colleges, and private clinics.
For the last ten years I have run my own clinic in Reading, Berkshire and London.
Whatever your problems are, I'm here to help you. I have helped thousands of clients over the years and would be happy to work with you too. I specialize in trauma, PTSD, anger, anxiety and depression, working with adults, couples, families, teens and children using a variety of therapy models including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Emotionally Focussed Couple Therapy. ;As a Physician Psychologist, I combine the art and skills of counseling and psychotherapy with the science of psychology. I aim to provide a highly professional, effective and high-quality therapy service that focuses on your individual needs. Please note that I am offering online therapy during COVID-19.
