Based in Istanbul, providing professional online psychodynamic therapy to local and global adults, adolescents, couples, and families.
Welcome. I am a qualified clinical psychologist with over 20 years of private practice experience. Originally operating across Observatory and Hout Bay in Cape Town, South Africa, I am now permanently based in Istanbul, Turkey, dedicating my practice entirely to high-utility online clinical consultations.
My virtual doors are open to both the local expatriate community within Turkey and global patients seeking experienced, native English-speaking therapeutic support. Throughout my career, I have worked with deeply diverse populations, including an extensive tenure as the residential consulting psychologist at Oranjia, a dedicated home for children in need.
My clinical approach places great emphasis on developing an authentic, collaborative, and trusting relationship within a safe, emotionally supportive virtual space.
We focus not just on surface symptoms like depression, but look deeply at why they arose, what sustains them, and how your unique defenses or repetitive, counter-intuitive behavioral patterns operate.
While rooted in psychodynamic theory, I actively augment therapy using evidence-based cognitive, affective, and behavioral techniques to help you seamlessly translate internal insights into tangible daily changes.
Brief or longer-term therapy tackling career pressures, depression, and personal existential challenges.
Inclusive approaches involving coordinated intake data from caregivers and schools to tailor specialized support.
Systemic therapy exploring dynamics, resolving deep conflicts, and breaking destructive communication loops.
Strengthening internal psychological resources to process, safely manage, and heal from core traumatic events.
Expert guidance for relocation stress, expat adjustment, separation, divorce, and parenthood changes.
Identifying underlying motivations to help clarify and communicate feelings clearly and productively.
Secure, confidential, and fully compliant video consultations tailored to your timezone.
