"I had reached out to Gulden in a moment of crisis, internally and externally conflicts were rising and since I started receiving therapeutical support from her, I was able to organise my thoughts more clearly and work on the whole scope of the situation in order to find a proper solution... which she has also helped me immensely with it.”

Counselling in Luzern & Online Worldwide

Welcome to my practice!

I have been living in Lucerne, Switzerland for over 6 years and work as a Clinical Psychological Consultant and Coach at a Singaporean company. Additionally, I provide private consultancy services.

Before moving to Switzerland, I spent 15 years as a lecturer at universities in Istanbul. My deep interest in philosophy and psychology led me to complete a master’s program in Applied Psychology at the University of Liverpool. During this time, I trained in various therapeutic approaches, specializing in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

I was accepted to The Catholic University of Eichstätt–Ingolstadt (KU) in Germany within the scope of the Erasmus+ Staff Mobility for Teaching. During this exchange, I had the opportunity to deliver seminars related to my master’s thesis in the Departments of Individual Psychology and Developmental Psychology.

I received training in Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) from Dr. Nevin Dölek. As I worked with clients, I became increasingly aware of the subconscious mind’s critical role in thought and behavior change. This interest led me to further my expertise with Hypnotherapy training under Clinical Psychologist Burak Uçkun.

Becoming a mother sparked my desire to explore evidence-based parenting practices. I completed Dr. Jane Nelsen’s Positive Discipline training, which brought meaningful and positive changes to my own family. This experience also enhanced my ability to support parents seeking effective tools for raising their children.

I have been married for 10 years and have one child. Practicing Pilates, organizing family activities, and taking short trips are among the things that bring me joy in life.

I completed both my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in English. I provide counseling in both English and Turkish.

I also have a B1 level of German proficiency and continue to improve my skills.

Currently, I continue to deepen my psychological education in Switzerland.

I believe every individual has a unique story and set of needs. That’s why I am committed to tailoring my approach to each client, offering personalized guidance and support.
