Psychologist Den Haag

However, embracing this realization was not without challenges. It meant immersing myself in learning Dutch fluently within a year to obtain the necessary licenses in The Netherlands and doing a second masters study. What initially appeared as a big wave soon unfolded into an ongoing journey of self-discovery and growth. So far I had the pleasure of working with humans-in-the being from different walks of life, encompassing different cultures, migration generations, age groups, and sexual orientations. It gives me fulfillment to witness their unique growth journeys.

I am trained in multiple schools of therapy such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Schema Therapy and EMDR. I have an person-centered approach to therapy which means that I’ll tailor myself to your goals and needs rather than following a strict protocolled therapy plan.

In addition to my work as a psychologist, I am deeply rooted in the practice of yoga and mindfulness meditation, holding a qualification as a yoga teacher. Over the years, I've delved into yoga philosophy, traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurveda, drawing rich insights from these disciplines.

This multidimensional perspective allows me to offer more holistic and body-oriented exercises during therapy sessions. Whether it's incorporating breathwork, mindfulness techniques, or somatic practices, I aim to provide a comprehensive framework for healing and self-discovery.

I offer therapy sessions in both Turkish and English, and in some cases in Dutch. I am a member of Dutch
Institute of Psychologists (NIP) and follow their ethical codes.
