If you are here, something has probably become too much to bear.
I imagine you are seeking therapy because a sense of emotional pain or discomfort has gone on for too long. The ways of coping that used to work – keeping busy, holding it in, pushing through – may have stopped working.
If that is where you are, I want you to know it makes sense that you are looking for help, and that looking is itself a hopeful act. The first small shift.
I am a Psychosynthesis counsellor who works with adults, with a particular focus on complex and early relational trauma (C-PTSD), autism, ADHD and neurodivergence, and questions of culture, identity and belonging.
My practice is trauma-informed and neurodivergence-affirming, and I bring my own experience of living between cultures. I meet you as you are in a co-created space, safe enough to go where you need to.
My areas of focus
Early relational trauma and C-PTSD
If home wasn’t a safe place growing up, the ways you learned to survive it can stay with you long after you need them. We work slowly, at a pace your system can trust.
Autistic and ADHD adults
Whether you have a diagnosis, are waiting for one or are quietly wondering, you can come as you are here, without having to mask or explain yourself from scratch.
Culture, identity and belonging
For anyone living between cultures, carrying family expectations, or with a sense of self that doesn’t quite fit either world. I know this experiencefrom my own life as a second-generation Turkish Cypriot.
What I can help with
You do not need the right words for what is wrong to get in touch.
How it works
1. A free 15-minute call
A chance to hear how I work and ask anything. It is not a therapy session, and there is no commitment either way.
2. A first session
We get a sense of what has brought you here, and whether we can work well together. Trust matters more than anything else.
3. Weekly sessions
50 minutes at the same day and time each week, in person or online. Nothing is forced, and nothing is rushed.
