Most people search for answers outside themselves. But the answers are usually already within us — we simply need the right conditions to hear them.

About me
I'm Fidan — a clinical psychologist in training who approaches every person with genuine curiosity and a belief that the right conversation, at the right time, can change everything.
I hold a BSc and MSc in Psychology from the University of Sussex and am currently training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). My work is trauma-informed and evidence-based — but the direction is always yours. I conduct all of this work in English, Russian, and Turkish.
Over the past 3 years I've supported children and adults with trauma, neurodiversity, and complex mental health needs across residential, community, and outpatient settings. That experience shaped how I show up: with patience, depth, and without judgment. I work with neurodivergent clients and adapt to how you think and communicate — not the other way around. I work in English, Russian, and Turkish.

How it works
Free intro call
A brief 30-minute conversation — no pressure, just to get to know each other and see if this feels like the right space for you.
Assessment & formulation
Across the first 1–2 sessions we make sense of what you're bringing, set goals together, and build a therapy plan tailored to you.
Therapy sessions
Weekly, structured 50-minute sessions. Each one builds on the last, with concrete tools and home practice between meetings.
Closure & consolidation
As you reach your goals, sessions gradually space out. Follow-up consolidation sessions are offered at 3, 6, and 12 months.
Book a session
You don't need to have everything figured out before reaching out. The first session is simply a conversation — an opportunity to see if this feels like the right space for you.
All sessions take place online via Zoom. You can attend from anywhere in the world. Sessions are conducted in English, Russian, or Turkish — your choice.
