Hello, I'm Rumeysa.
Coming to therapy is a courageous step — and when you take it, you deserve to be met by someone who truly listens. I work with clients in a warm, collaborative, and judgment-free way, with the goal of not only navigating difficult seasons but building lasting inner resilience.
I practice from a person-centered approach: you are the expert of your own life, and my role is to offer a genuine, accepting, non-judgmental relationship where change becomes possible. I work with individuals, couples, children, and teens, drawing on evidence-based approaches for anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, ADHD, and perinatal mental health when they serve your goals. Sessions are available in English or Turkish — because healing begins in the language where you feel most yourself.

What you can expect in the room.
Safety First
For therapy to work, you need to feel safe first. Early sessions are devoted to getting to know each other and building that trust.
Collaboration
We set goals together. The process belongs to you — I'm your companion on the path.
Cultural Sensitivity
Your identity, culture, and beliefs are met with respect in the therapy room — never judgment.
How I work, and what it's built on.
Person-centered at its core, drawing on evidence-based methods when they serve your goals. No single method fits everyone — the approach is always shaped around you.
Person-Centered Therapy
The foundation of how I work. You are the expert on your own life; my role is to offer genuine acceptance and understanding, and to trust that with the right conditions, you already carry your own way forward.
Child-Centered Play Therapy
The same trust, adapted to children. In the playroom your child leads, and play itself becomes the language through which difficult feelings are expressed and worked through.
Emotion-Focused Therapy
Emotions carry information, not just discomfort. Emotion-focused work helps you turn toward feelings you may have learned to avoid, understand what they are signalling, and let them move through — so they stop running things from underneath.
Psychodynamic Therapy
Some patterns are older than whatever triggered them today. Psychodynamic work looks beneath the surface — at early experiences, unspoken conflicts, and why a reaction makes complete sense once you see where it began.
Gottman Method Couples Therapy
Built on decades of research into what actually keeps couples together. We work on the specifics: how conflict starts, how repair happens, and how friendship and trust are rebuilt in everyday moments.
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy
Grounded in what is already working. Rather than analysing the problem endlessly, we identify the strengths you already have and the small, practical steps that move you forward.
Attachment Theory
Our earliest bonds shape what we come to expect from closeness. Understanding your attachment patterns makes it possible to build relationships that feel safe, instead of repeating what once felt familiar.
Trauma-Informed Care
Every part of the work assumes that hard experiences leave marks — on the body, the nervous system, and on trust itself. Safety comes first, the pace is yours, and nothing is pushed before you are ready.
Mind-Body Connection
Healing is not only a thinking process. We pay attention to what your body is signalling — tension, breath, restlessness — and work with your nervous system rather than against it.
The right fit matters most.
Let's meet in a free consultation — a safe, non-judgmental space where we decide together whether it's the right fit.
