About me, how I started
personal โจ
I spent my formative years in Turkey where I was born. I moved out of my homeland following the completion of my studies and lived in different parts of Europe until in 2014, I started calling Berlin my home.๐
In all spheres of my life, I make sure to navigate in harmony with my core values: authenticity, fairness, inclusivity, community, and a dedicated focus on human and animal rights.
I strongly believe that our lives in the society are anything but isolated, and we remain integral components of the broader social fabric despite the prevalent 'individualism' in Western communities.
academic ๐ฑ
My academic journey started with a BA in sociology, followed by a MSc in Anthropology. Recently, reinforced by my role in various companies as a people & culture partner (Glispa, SoundCloud, AVOW), I've also expanded my theoretical and practical knowledge in Psychology through further education on Systemic Coaching.
With a strong base in social sciences, I aim to help you connect the dots between social systems โ such as love, family, friendship, work, and society โ and your personal experiences. in our sessions, I will guide you through the layers of these systems as they relate to your own lifeโwhether itโs navigating relationships or finding your place in an ever-changing world.
professional ๐
My initial introduction to coaching came through a Western approach which traditionally follows an individualistic lens. As my awareness evolved, I began to understand that true healing comes from being part of a community and understanding the societal factors that impact our emotional security.
In our sessions, I incorporate Alfred Adlerโs psychological approach which which looks at how relationships โ whether with family, friends, colleagues, or wider society โ shape who we are. By understanding these influences, we can work together on personal growth in a more holistic, connected way.
