About

Hi, I’m Zeynep.

I was born in Ankara, Turkey in 1998 and I have been studying and working in Rotterdam and around as a psychologist in training since 2016. Alongside working at different clinics under the Dutch Mental Health Care since 2023, I also currently offer private counseling services in English from my office in Rotterdam or online.

My approach to therapy

I believe that therapy can take many forms. It can be a dialogue about topics that are on your mind or it can be a structured set of certain sessions where we work towards a goal you have.

Topics I am working with

I work daily with topics such as migration, identity questions and stress in my practice. I also often encounter people who are neurodivergent in my work. I have experience dealing with problems arising from difficult emotions such as anxiety, negative thoughts that can take a toll on our lives, and past experiences that leave a mark. Relationship and family issues come up during my sessions regularly.

Topics I do not work with

I am not working with problems arising from eating disorders, addiction, agression, suicidality nor psychosis in my private practice due to the team approach required for these issues. I will refer you to your GP during the assessment phase if I think that you should seek medical help.

Scientific Methods of therapy I am familiar with

• Mindfulness
• Compassion-focused Therapy
• Cognitive and Behavioral Therapy
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
• Systemic Therapy
• Socratic Dialogue

Therapy Space

I am currently renting a room in Schiekade 105 for fridays.
