About

Hi, I’m Zeynep.

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

I’m a NIP-registered psychologist, which means that I work according the rules of Dutch Psychological Association (NIP). I currently work as a freelancer and thus have my own company (KVK: 42155832).

You can find more about my background under the button CV above.

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. I keep my knowledge up-to-date by educating myself regularly about topics I am working with.

Topics I am working with

I work daily with topics such as migration, identity questions and stress in my practice.

I often encounter people who are neurodivergent in my work and like to work with the topics that come along neurodivergence; such as feeling over or understimulated, attention span and deficits, motivation issues, emotional regulation and masking emotions- and feeling like you don’t belong.

I have also 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, aggression, 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.
