İlk adım her şeyi değiştirebilir.
Hayat, bazen size bir birey, eş yada ebeveyn olarak beklenenden daha ağır gelebilir. Ancak doğru bir iletişim ve destekle düşündüğünüzden daha kolayca üstesinden gelebilirsiniz. Birey, çift, çocuk ve aileler için İngilizce ve Türkçe terapi seçenekleriyle birlikte yol alabiliriz. Kendinizi tam olarak kendiniz gibi hissetmediğinizi fark edebilirsiniz; düşünceleriniz dağınık, duygularınız daha yoğun ya da ilişkileriniz daha gergin olabilir. Kaygılı, stresli olabilir, eğer bir göçmenseniz kültürel farklılıklarla baş ederken zaman zaman kendinizi yorgun ve yalnız hissedebilirsiniz.

I offer online and in-person therapy in English and Turkish.
There is always space for growth and self-improvement. Reaching out is not always easy, and opening your heart during difficult times can feel overwhelming. You may be going through something you cannot share with anyone. Depression can pull you into dark places, and you may need support, guidance, and tools to understand what is happening. Life transitions can be challenging, and you may be longing for your life and relationships to move into a better place.

If you're looking for long lasting change and finally breaking patterns, I'd love to support you. "Somatic counselling with Fiona is bringing change to my life in a powerful and profound way. I can't explain what exactly is happening inside me, it isn't the work I'm used to doing in counselling, and yet when the connection happens and release comes I feel like I have unloaded years worth of heavy emotions. My life is naturally shifting in ways that I never imagined possible, my body has started to process emotion differently, I am thinking about life differently, and I feel powerful. I am shifting in ways that I never imagined."

You know what you want. You keep doing the opposite. You've done the reading, noticed the pattern, and yet there you are again, pulling away when someone gets close, repeating the argument you swore you wouldn't have, returning to the habit you wanted to leave. That gap between knowing and doing is rarely a discipline problem. It usually means different parts of you want different things. I work with self-aware adults and couples who are tired of insight that doesn't translate. Together we slow things down, look at what these patterns are protecting, and build a different relationship with them.

Living with anxiety, depression, low self-worth, stress, or trauma can quietly shape how you see yourself and your relationships. You may find yourself overthinking, struggling with self-doubt, or feeling overwhelmed by emotions. Often, these patterns are linked to early-life experiences, attachment wounds, or unmet emotional needs. My professional journey began supporting children with ASD and ADHD, where I developed a deep understanding of emotional development, attachment, and the lasting impact of early life experiences. I now support adults in exploring how these experiences shape emotional and relational patterns.

Life’s hardships can break us into pieces. We may feel like we want to throw in the towel. We might lose our confidence in ourselves. We might be oppressed, feeling depressed. We might feel lonely. We might be going through major transitions, grief, heartbreaks. No matter how hard life can get, we can always find the path to freedom. That is where therapy comes in. Therapy encourages you to face life’s hardships willingly, with courage and trust that can be hard to cultivate otherwise.

It is all about clans.
We all start our lives in a family and for years, we swim in this familiy's emotional atmosphere as babies. We learn many ways of looking at the world and being in the world from our original families.
Then we get into new clans; School, relationships, friends, work. There, the old ways of being from our original family follow us. We automatically repeat certain patterns and behave in these rather old ways without even noticing. These pattens actually do not define us, yet they drive our thoughts, our emotions and our behaviours. Then we get stuck with this question:
"What am I doing?"
Sounds familiar?

Difficult life experiences that happened years ago may still be negatively impacting your thoughts, actions, relationships, and feelings today. You may feel stuck in the past or in your fears around the future. You may be living in your head; limiting your capacity to connect with yourself and others. You may feel skeptical, but change is possible. I have worked with people impacted by trauma, chronic stress, anxiety, somatization and OCD for several years. I have witnessed them take charge of their thoughts and behaviours while connecting to their feelings, to here and now, to their bodies, to their values and loved ones.

Your traumas don’t define you… If you’ve tried different therapies with various therapists and still struggle with the same symptoms, it’s not your fault. You know the skills, the techniques, yet you’re still easily triggered, and stress feels unmanageable. That’s because your brain is holding onto past trauma, constantly reminding you of what happened, making you feel unsafe. Anxiety becomes your brain’s way of protecting you from these feelings.

Your mind understands your story, but your body hasn't found peace yet. For women and mothers navigating the silent weight of daily life, it can feel like a series of plateaus. You are doing everything right, yet you remain stuck in survival mode. This exhaustion often ripples through the family. I see it in children and youth carrying hurdles they do not yet have the words to describe. When a person feels depleted or a child struggles, these plateaus can make meaningful change feel impossible. I provide a space where you are truly understood, allowing the heavy layers to finally lift.
