I graduated from Bilkent University, Department of Psychology in 2016 as a honour student.
After that, I took master's degree courses in clinical and developmental psychopathology at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam with a support from the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science and VUFP scholarship; then in the field of developmental psychology at Middle East Technical University.
I received my clinical psychology specialisation from TED University, Child and Adolescent Clinical Psychology (MSc.) master's program in 2019. During this training, I did my clinical internship at GATA Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Service. Simultaneously, I conducted psychotherapy sessions under supervision with children and their families at TED University Applied Psychology Unit.
Until the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, I provided psychotherapy and psychological evaluation services to children and their families in special education and rehabilitation centers. With the pandemic, my online psychotherapy adventure started. During this period, I volunteered in the "TEDU COPeS" project, which was carried out to provide online psycho-social support to TED University students and employees.
In my academic studies, I have been investigating the importance of memory and learning processes and their role in the etiology of child-adolescent psychopathologies. I continue my doctoral studies in the field of Psychology and Health at Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC) (Barcelona/Spain). My project is about rehabilitation of memory and learning processes of children diagnosed with neurodevelopmental disorders via virtual reality (VR) technologies.
In February 2022, my scientific studies during the masters degree was selected by the committee of Ankara University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Child and Adolescent Mental Health for "Prof Mualla Öztürk, Child and Adolescent Mental Health Research Award".
I provide online and face-to-face psychotherapy and counselling to children-adolescents (3-18 years old), young adults (18-30 years old) and parents.
The schools of psychotherapy that I have been trained and benefit from in my sessions are cognitive behavioural therapy, schema therapy, short-term solution-oriented therapy, systematic family therapy, child centered play therapy and art therapy.
I have been in my own psychotherapy process by being in the client chair since my undergraduate education. In addition, I am under continuous training and supervision in different psychotherapy schools.
