Den Haag
Hi, I am İlkim, a licensed psychologist currently based in the Netherlands.
As someone who is international I know the unique mental health challenges this brings. I strongly believe therapy can support us in navigating through the waves of life by enhancing our psychological resilience. By cultivating resilience we go beyond surviving the challenges, we transcend them. We learn to surf the waves, accept what we can’t change and change what we can't accept.
I am a integrative therapist/psychologist. I think life can be hard (sometimes). Therapy or counselling can help you to get unstuck.

Laren
We all run into problems every day. Some are easier to resolve or deal with than others, but no matter where an experience is on the continuum from mildly problematic to traumatic, there is a way back to regulation if we understand how the nervous system works. As we learn to become friends with our nervous system and anchor ourselves in a safe state of the autonomic nervous system, the inevitable challenges in our daily lives are no longer nearly as terrifying. We discover we can recover even from traumatic events.
