I'm a Clinical Psychologist with over 15 years of experience supporting children, young people, and their families.
I currently hold a senior role within a specialist NHS service supporting children in care and their networks, including families, carers, schools, and professionals, to create more stable and nurturing environments.
I see emotional wellbeing as shaped by both our experiences and our relationships, and I bring a relational and trauma-informed approach into therapy. My aim is to create a supportive and reflective space where we can make sense of your experiences together and begin to move towards meaningful change.
Having spent most of my own life between cultures, growing up in Moscow and Istanbul, and studying and making my home in London, I have a particular interest in supporting expats and those navigating life across cultures. Whether you're settling into a new country, adjusting to life away from family and the familiar, or raising children between cultures, I can offer a space to make sense of the unique challenges this can bring, from identity and belonging to grief, isolation, and the practical pressures of starting again. I'm able to offer sessions in English or Turkish.
Some of the areas I most often support people with — though every person and family is different, and our work together will always be shaped around your needs.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in understanding your unique story. I aim to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to make meaningful change in your life.
I bring a culturally sensitive lens to my work, attending to the diverse contexts, languages, and experiences that shape who we are.
I draw on a range of therapeutic models, guided by what best fits your needs and your goals, including:
Research interests include the application of brief mindfulness training to emotion regulation and behaviour change.
Outside of work, I enjoy travelling and have visited over 60 countries. I enjoy street photography, dipping in and out of art galleries, and trying to learn kite surfing (a work in progress).
