The Founders of Mete Psikoloji

Two clinical psychologists, one shared standard: evidence-based therapy delivered with warmth — in English or Turkish, in Antalya or online.

At a Glance

Mete Psikoloji was founded in Antalya by clinical psychologists Berk Mete, MSc, GMBPsS and Mısra İlksen Önder, MSc. Berk completed his MSc with Distinction at Birkbeck, University of London and is a Graduate Member of the British Psychological Society (#763717). Together they built an independent psychology practice offering CBT, Schema Therapy and Gottman-informed couples work — fully in English for Antalya's international community.

Our Story

Why We Built a Practice in Antalya

We founded Mete Psikoloji with a simple conviction: people in Antalya — Turkish and international alike — deserve the same standard of psychological care they would expect in London. That means clinicians with verifiable credentials, methods supported by research, and a process transparent enough that you always know where you are and why.

The London chapter shaped everything. For Berk, studying and working in the UK meant training within the British Psychological Society's ethical framework, learning to formulate cases rigorously, and holding therapeutic conversations in English at a genuinely clinical level — not conversational English, but the precise language of emotion, memory and change. That standard became the blueprint for the whole practice.

Back in Turkey, we noticed how many expats, international couples and bilingual families in Antalya were struggling to find that combination: UK-standard training, English fluency and a warm, unhurried therapeutic style. Our practice in Şirinyalı, Muratpaşa exists to close that gap — seven days a week, in person or online.

We deliberately kept the practice small. Two founding clinicians who discuss cases together, supervise one another's thinking and take personal responsibility for every client — rather than a rotating roster of names.

Our Approach

What We Stand For

Evidence-Based, Always

Every process is built on approaches with a strong research base — CBT, Schema Therapy, ACT-informed work and the Gottman Method. Progress is reviewed against clear goals, not guesswork.

Measured Progress

Standardised clinical measures such as the PHQ-9 and GAD-7 are used throughout, so you can see what is changing — in plain numbers, not vague impressions.

A Warm, Human Frame

Structure never replaces the relationship. Sessions are collaborative and unhurried; goals, pace and methods are agreed with you openly from the first meeting.

Two Clinicians, One Case View

As co-founders we hold regular case discussions and peer supervision, which means every client benefits from two clinical perspectives rather than one.
