Hello, I am Clinical Psychologist Elif Meltem OKCU. As a professional specializing in psychology, I believe that every individual has a unique story and need. I am here to guide you by adopting a personalized and empathetic approach during the therapy process.

Life can be challenging and complex at times. Seeking help to find inner peace, achieve emotional balance, or cope with personal struggles is a courageous step. If you are ready for change, I am here to accompany and support you on this journey. Don’t hesitate to reach out to me, and let’s begin this journey together.

Education

After completing my undergraduate degree in Psychology at İzmir University of Economics, I went on to complete a Master’s program in Clinical Psychology at Bournemouth University in the UK, with a thesis on “The Relationship Between Attachment Styles and Substance Use Behavior in Adolescence.”

During my undergraduate studies, I completed mandatory clinical internships at Medical Park Hospital, 35 Psychology Center, and the French Lape Hospital.

Throughout my Master’s program, I worked part-time with special education children at Linwood School, while also volunteering with patients with addictions at various institutions. I am currently an active member of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and continue to work as a psychotherapist at The Providence Project in the UK.

I offer face-to-face sessions to clients in London and the surrounding areas, while providing online services to clients in other countries and cities.

Client Comments

Thanks to Ms. Meltem, I have made great progress in coping with the anxiety and stress I experienced in Germany. She listened to me with her empathy and understanding, and supported me in understanding and overcoming the difficulties I was experiencing. With her guidance, my self-confidence increased and I achieved a healthier mental state. I am grateful to her.
