Relationships & Romantic Life

Recurring cycles, trust issues, jealousy, communication and healthy boundaries.

Anxious Attachment

Fear of abandonment, intense need for reassurance, and building emotional safety in relationships.

My Approach

I See Therapy as a Process of Change

Rather than a one-way process in which ready-made solutions are handed to the client, I see therapy as a structured process of change in which the person comes to know their own life story, needs and inner world more fully.

  • Science-based: a framework supported by current research and clinical practice.
  • Ethical and confidential: safe boundaries that prioritise the client's individual needs.
  • Holistic: understanding emotion, thought, relationship and behaviour patterns together.
  • Bilingual: Turkish and English, with access independent of geographical borders.
