I am a Psychological counsellor (PhD) and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP), offering face-to-face sessions in Chiswick and Richmond (W4, TW9), as well as online therapy. My work supports adults and parents managing anxiety, trauma, grief, and relationship challenges through an integrative and body informed approach that moves beyond therapy alone.

With a PhD in Guidance and Psychological Counselling from Middle East Technical University (Turkey), and three years of advanced Somatic Experiencing training accredited by SETI and EASE, I bring both a deep theoretical foundation and embodied clinical understanding to my work with individuals navigating challenges in mental wellbeing.

In addition to my private practice, I’ve had the privilege of working with women who have experienced trauma, cultural oppression, or gender-based violence through organisations such as The MAYA Centre and Imece Women’s Centre in London. I currently assist in Somatic Experiencing trainings in the UK, supporting practitioners in deepening their somatic capacity and therapeutic presence.

As an Accredited Register Member of the British Association for Counseling and Psychotherapy (MBACP Accred), I adhere to the highest ethical and professional standards in my practice.

I work with a range of issues including anxiety, depression, panic attacks, bereavement/loss, relationship breakdown, , trauma and related symptoms, childhood trauma, sexual abuse, rape, emotional abuse, chronic illlnes and pain, phobias, low self esteem, loneliness, life change.

I work integratively, drawing primarily from Somatic Experiencing, while also incorporating elements of Existential, Adlerian, Humanistic, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and Psychodynamic approaches.

My therapeutic focus is on supporting the nervous system—helping clients gradually process trauma, regulate overwhelming emotions, and safely move through survival responses such as fight, flight, or freeze.
