About me
I am Elif and I work as a psychologist in Rotterdam and online. I’ve been living in the Netherlands since 2019. As an expat myself, I’m familiar with the struggles and difficulties that may come along with living in a foreign country. That is why I enjoy working with
international students, expats, and individuals with multicultural backgrounds.
Method
My approach is person-centered, meaning our therapeutic relationship is based on equality, mutual trust, and collaboration. For me, therapy is about supporting you in achieving greater independence, reconnecting with your inner-self, and navigating current and future struggles. Although I am trained in Schema Therapy and EMDR, based on your needs I use elements from various modalities (existentialism, psychodrama, and ACT).
