I have been offering individual and couple therapy in Turkish and English since 2018. I am

mainly working on early maladaptive schemas that occurred as a result of the unmet needs of a child by the caregiver/s with the Schema Therapy Approach. Although Schema Therapy is the main approach that I use, I usually prefer to integrate it with other approaches, such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness. The client and I together decide which approach works the best for her/him regarding her/his needs. I am taking supervision as the prerequisite of being an international certificated therapist by the International Society of Schema Therapy.
