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 I'm currently training in CBT, with plans to specialise in EMDR. My work is trauma-informed, evidence-based, and always led by you — not a protocol.
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.
"My goal is to create a space where people can connect and heal together on their mental health journeys."
