My Story
My commitment to well-being commenced with the attainment of a degree in Psychological Counselling from Bahçeşehir University in Istanbul, followed by a Master of Science from University College London (UCL), specializing in Eating Disorders and Clinical Nutrition within the Division of Medicine. Upon my return to İstanbul, I completed my second masters degree at İstanbul Kent University in the field of Clinical Psychology. During my tenure in London, I actively contributed to a multidisciplinary team, directly engaging with adolescents grappling with eating disorders. Upon returning to Istanbul, I embarked on clinical work in various government hospitals, addressing a spectrum of mental health issues, encompassing Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Generalized Anxiety, and Clinical Depression.
My professional trajectory evolved towards collaborative efforts within a multi-disciplinary team, focusing on treating individuals with eating disorders in conjunction with psychiatrists working at the American Hospital. Concurrently, I gained valuable experience as a co-therapist, conducting group therapy for in-patients with eating disorders at the Moodist Psychiatric Hospital. For the past several years, I have been providing therapeutic services in my private practice, Vital Habits. Here, I offer individualized therapy utilizing an eclectic approach that integrates various modalities, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness-based approaches. Recognizing the multifaceted nature of certain mental health disorders, I collaborate closely with registered eating disorder nutritionists and psychiatrists to ensure comprehensive care for my clients.
