I am a clinical psychologist deeply committed to enhancing public mental well-being. I run Sanus Psychology, my private practice in Leiden, where I offer CBT, EMDR, and Schema Therapy in English and Turkish. Additionally, I serve as a therapist and quality manager at Better Minds GGZ, a mental health practice providing insured care. Currently, I am completing my PhD in epidemiology at Erasmus MC, focusing on migraine research. I enjoy delivering talks and seminars on psychology, workplace mental well-being, and science communication, aiming to support both researchers and the general public in improving their mental health and well-being. I am also the author of “AI’s Guide to Psychological Well-Being,” a pioneering self-help book co-written with AI.
As a psychotherapist, I am dedicated to providing compassionate and evidence-based therapy to individuals seeking support for their mental well-being. I received extensive training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy and Schema Therapy. I offer a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to explore their thoughts, emotions, and behavioral patterns.
My approach to therapy is grounded in a client-centered perspective, tailoring treatment plans to meet the unique needs and goals of each individual. I work collaboratively with clients to develop insights, build resilience, and empower them to make positive changes in their lives. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or other challenges, I am here to support you on your journey towards healing and personal growth.
