Home– About Me
The human mind is both the strongest and the most delicate compass in our journey through life. Every individual’s struggles, emotions, and healing process are unique. For this reason, I see therapy not merely as a treatment method, but as a process that helps individuals better understand themselves and transform their lives.
Based on trust, empathy, and a scientific approach, I work collaboratively with my patients to help them build a more balanced, peaceful, and meaningful life.
I was born in Nicosia in 1978. After graduating from Nicosia Turkish Maarif College, I completed my medical degree at Çukurova University Faculty of Medicine. I then pursued specialist training in Orthopedics and Traumatology and worked as a specialist surgeon for a total of four years in both Cyprus and the United Kingdom.
Later, I decided to continue my medical career in the field of psychiatry. I completed my core and higher specialist psychiatry training at Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust, based at Princess Alexandra Hospital. During this period, I also received additional training in areas of particular interest to me, including Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), addictions, group psychodrama, and individual psychodynamic psychotherapy.
I obtained Membership of the Royal College of Psychiatrists. I then worked for one and a half years as a Consultant Psychiatrist at East London NHS Foundation Trust, affiliated with Homerton University Hospital.
I also worked for one year at Psychiatry-UK, a specialist organization in the United Kingdom focusing on Autism and ADHD within a combined NHS and private healthcare model. During this time, I was involved in the assessment and treatment of patients with ADHD and contributed to multidisciplinary clinical meetings.
In 2025, I returned to Cyprus. In recent years, I have also continued to expand my expertise in holistic medicine, holistic psychiatry, polyvagal theory, and functional nutrition, while closely following developments in these fields.

The first step is always the most powerful one. Whenever you need support, I am here to move forward together with you.
Healing requires patience, awareness, and trust. As each individual searches for meaning within their own life story, I value being a supportive companion throughout that journey. Hope is not merely an emotion — it is the force that opens the door to change. Small steps can become the beginning of profound transformation.
