I support people who may be experiencing relationship and marital stress (couples counselling), anxiety, depression, stress management, self-esteem issues, life transitions, burn out, anger management, , loss and grief, work related challenges and parenting related challenges. You can think of me as someone in your corner, someone who is ready to listen without judgment, while also offering thoughtful and honest reflections to support real, lasting change.

My approach to therapy is warm, supportive, collaborative and trauma-informed. I bring honesty, curiosity, and a sense of humour into the room, and I invite clients to do the same. I believe meaningful change happens when we can look at ourselves with compassion rather than criticism. I aim to create a space where you can feel safe enough to be yourself, and curious enough to explore what may need to change. I’m invested in the work we do together and approach therapy as a collaborative process.

I draw on a range of evidence-based approaches and integrate them in my work, including CBT, ACT, mindfulness, RLT, IFS/parts work, the Gottman Method, SFBT and a person-centred framework. Rather than a one-size-fits-all model, our work is shaped around what feels most helpful and meaningful for you. This means we can work both practically and reflectively helping you understand patterns, build skills, and create lasting change.

I also lead social and emotional learning workshops in primary and secondary schools across Victoria. Supporting students with wide range of topics from friendship challenges, self-esteem, leadership skills, managing anger, peer support, emotional regulation skills, resilience,  empathy, respect, and inclusion, confidence building and self-awareness, communication and assertiveness and building healthy boundaries.

I love adventure and new experiences. My favourite pianist is Ludovico Einaudi, I had the pleasure of listening to him play at the Arts Centre, Melbourne.  I passionately love chocolate, mangoes and frozen berries. I trained in martial arts for a decade giving me a black belt in Taekwondo, using my body to move and relax releases stress.  My current love is table tennis, the little white ball comes with a lot of fun and laughter.  I speak in English and Turkish Fluently.

Therapy offers a space to better understand yourself, heal old patterns, and build healthier ways of relating, both internally and with others. Clients often report feeling grounded, self-respecting, and emotionally connected in their relationships. Rather than quick fixes, the work focuses on lasting change through self-awareness, compassion, and practical relational tools.

You don’t have to navigate challenges alone. If you feel I might be a good fit and this resonates with you I welcome you to get in touch.

I am a warm and thoughtful therapist supporting teens and adults with a wide range of mental health and life challenges. I work with people experiencing stress, low mood, anxiety, identity questions, relationship and family conflict, grief and loss, and major life changes such as separation, divorce, career shifts, and parenting transitions.

I have experience supporting young people and adults with coping skills, emotional regulation, suicidal thoughts, mood disorders, racial and cultural identity, and gender and sexuality diversity. I offer a calm, non-judgemental space where people can feel heard and understood, and where we can gently make sense of what is going on.

My approach is practical, compassionate, and collaborative. I focus on helping people build insight, confidence, and skills so they can move through life with more steadiness and self trust.

Perinatal support

I support individuals who want to lead fulfilling lives in which their reproductive choices are embraced and celebrated. For many, the imagined future can become clouded by reproductive loss, infertility, depression or anxiety during pregnancy and postpartum, or a difficult transition to parenthood. I am here to help you move through these challenges and reconnect with a sense of wellness and stability in your reproductive journey.

I bring over a decade of experience working in a public maternity hospital with pregnant people experiencing perinatal mental health difficulties; supporting non-binary clients seeking abortion care; working with couples engaged in adoption; and assisting parents to navigate post-separation parenting arrangements in non-profit organisations.

My practice is LGBTQIA+ affirming and neurodiversity affirming. I am particularly passionate about supporting non-binary clients through their reproductive experiences. I draw on a range of therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Interpersonal Psychotherapy, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, and Positive Psychology.

Clients often describe feeling grounded and emotionally regulated. I will meet you where you are with calmness, compassion, positivity, and hope.

Outside of work, I am a proud mother of two children and a foster carer to a Labrador Retriever puppy. I am a dedicated yoga enthusiast and enjoy making candles and experimenting with aromatherapeutic oils in my spare time. I identify as an Asian, neurotypical, cisgender woman.
