Areas of Focus
Individual Therapy — CBT-Based
Her headline focus. Anxiety, low mood, self-worth, life transitions and recurring relationship patterns — through a personal case formulation, measurable goals and structured between-session work that carries into daily life.
Learn more →Eating-Related Difficulties
Evidence-based, structured CBT for restrictive, binge-type and emotionally driven eating patterns; body image, emotion regulation and the family system, coordinated with a nutrition team where needed.
Learn more →Child & Adolescent Therapy
Child-centred play therapy formation and age-adapted CBT; school adjustment, anxiety, attention and behavioural difficulties — supported by the MOXO and CNS Vital Signs assessments, with parents actively involved.
Learn more →Couples Therapy — Gottman & EFT
Gottman protocols combined with Dr. Sue Johnson's attachment-based Emotionally Focused Therapy: untangling negative interaction cycles and the attachment needs beneath surface conflict.
Learn more →Anxiety & Low Mood
For intense anxiety, panic and persistent low mood — cognitive restructuring, behavioural activation and graded exposure; structured CBT deepened by 16 modules of advanced formation.
Learn more →Academic Rigour and a Warm Relationship
The foundation of the process is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), deepened by sixteen advanced modules. That formation — from Prof. Dr. Hakan Türkçapar and Prof. Dr. Ebru Şalcıoğlu — means a case formulation built specifically for you, measurable goals and structured work between sessions. Change is not meant to stay in the therapy room: it is translated into concrete steps you carry into your daily life.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and a psychodynamic approach certificate add depth to that structure: the work engages not only your symptoms but your life story, your relationship patterns and the voice of your inner critic. In this compassionate frame, difficult feelings are not suppressed — they are understood, named and regulated, and softening how you treat yourself becomes one of the goals of the process itself.
All of this unfolds inside a warm, accepting therapeutic relationship. You arrive with your own unique story; from the first meeting, goals, the shape of sessions and how the process works are discussed openly with you. Sessions can be held in person at the practice in Antalya or online on an encrypted video platform — the same clinical frame is kept in both formats.

“Therapy means creating a safe space where a person comes to know themselves better. Every client arrives with a unique story, and I am here to make sense of it together. It matters to me to bring academic discipline together with a warm, accepting therapeutic relationship. The first step towards change is feeling understood.”
