If you’re reading this, something in your life may feel heavy, overwhelming or stuck. Maybe you’ve been carrying anxiety for a long time, repeating old patterns in relationships or feeling disconnected from who you are. You might look “fine” on the outside while inside things feel tangled, uncertain or too much to hold alone. I offer a warm, compassionate space where you can slow down, explore what’s going on beneath the surface and begin to feel more like yourself again.

Thinking about therapy but unsure where to start? Walk & Talk therapy offers a relaxed alternative to sitting face-to-face in a room, especially if you’ve never had therapy before. Research suggests that being in nature can help conversations flow, bringing clarity, perspective, and a sense of forward movement. People come feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or mentally busy, wanting space to think more clearly - and often find it makes a real difference.

At times, things can feel overwhelming and looking for a therapist is a big step, but one that puts you on the right path to better mental health. Life is rarely straightforward and sometimes we need help to unpick areas that are beginning to feel problematic - anxiety, depression, low mood, self-doubt, overwhelm can all be challenging. Dealing with life events such as menopause, workplace burnout, sexual or gender identity can all lead to us not knowing where to turn. If this is you, if you need a safe, non-judgmental space to talk, to feel heard in a warm and compassionate space then perhaps I can help you move forward.

Psikolojik Danışmanlık bölümünden mezun olduğumda elimde güçlü bir bilimsel harita vardı; fakat yolculuğumda asıl pusulam kalbim oldu. Başlangıçta geçmişe dönüp “neden böyle oldu” sorusuna cevap ararken, zamanla her deneyimin bana “ne öğretmek istediğini” keşfetmeye yöneldim. Bu arayış, beni yalnızca geleneksel psikolojinin sınırlarında kalmaktan çıkararak bilinçaltının derinliklerine, nörobilimin sunduğu açıklamalara, epigenetik ve DNA hafızasına, ThetaHealing ve kuantum fiziğin bakış açısına taşıdı. Böylece hem danışanlarımla hem de kendi iç yolculuğumda daha derin bir bütünleşme alanı açıldı.

Career Guidance Counsellors
How do I know if I need career counselling?
Determining whether a career counsellor is needed involves assessing one's current career and identifying what changes can be made to improve one's overall quality of life. In particular, feelings of loss of motivation, fatigue, anxiety, depression, procrastination, or ongoing levels of high stress can all be indicative of a need for career-related counselling. In addition, individuals changing jobs may want the decision-making support or self-reflection opportunities provided by a career counsellor.

Who can benefit from career counselling?
Anyone can benefit from the self-reflection, skill development, and stress management techniques that career counselling can provide. However, individuals who are feeling overwhelmed or burnt out with their current job and individuals considering a major career change may particularly benefit from career counselling to improve their wellbeing. Additionally, individuals who are facing issues in their current job, such as coworker relationship challenges or not meeting performance goals, may benefit from the perspective that a career counsellor can provide. College-age or young professionals may also uniquely benefit from career counselling as they make key decisions surrounding education and job training that will impact their career trajectory.

How long does career counselling typically last?
The length of career counselling can vary greatly depending on the needs of the individual and what type of support they are seeking Career coaching or advising services—which serve clients in a specific, goal-oriented capacity—often last for a shorter duration and are sometimes only a single session or a few sessions in length. In contrast, career counselling as part of a more integrative therapeutic relationship with a counsellor may last longer, particularly if the issues faced by the client are longstanding and/or more complex in nature; in such cases, individuals may expect therapy to last multiple months or longer.

How to prepare for career counselling?
Clients can prepare for career counselling sessions by outlining the specific topics they would like to address with the counsellor, such as current job challenges or hopes for the future of their career. Compiling one's thoughts on such topics often requires reflection on one's career and future goals, which in itself can be beneficial for session preparation. Clients may also want to put together a list of questions they would like to ask the counsellor, particularly if the career counsellor they are seeing has particular expertise in a given career area. Conducting research into potential future jobs, training opportunities, or support resources in one's area may also help clients prepare for career counselling by providing them with a background of what resources are available in their area.
