My path to psychotherapy was anything but linear. I was born in Istanbul, where I took a degree in film. A gap year in the UK slowly became a permanent migration, a transition that proved both liberating and disorienting, and one that left me wanting to understand the world, and my own mind, more deeply. I travelled and studied Tibetan Buddhism in Nepal, where it became clear that what I was reaching for was something embodied: an understanding that could hold mind and body together. This led me to train at Karuna. Alongside one-to-one work, I offer couples therapy, having trained to diploma level at CPPE.Contemplative inquiry remains central to how I understand presence and the nature of mind, and it shapes my psychospiritual approach.Beyond my clinical practice, I hold space for Dzogchen study, meditation groups and walk with my dog.
