PROJECTS AND WORKS UNDERTAKEN / CONDUCTED
February 2022 – June 2023
I was responsible for the drafting phases of the project titled “Discovery Route of the Village for the Gifted,” which was written collaboratively with the Turkish Foundation for the Education of the Gifted and Geniuses and supported by the Istanbul Development Agency. Within the scope of the project, as a “Psychological Counselor,” I am responsible for the administration of intelligence tests to children, application of observation forms, individual child and parent interviews, parent seminars, data collection for scientific studies, analysis, and publication.
October 2018 – December 2018
I served as a “Psychological Counselor” and supervisor in the “Einstein is at my School” project, held at Sultangazi Municipality with the support of Yıldız Technical University. In this project, which involved 15 schools, theatre actors dressed as scientists visited classrooms to introduce the scientists. My duty was to supervise the theatre students on how to approach the children socially and the methods they should use to attract their interest to science.
April 2017 – March 2018
For 11 months, within the scope of the Istanbul Development Agency-supported “Science Center” project at Sultangazi Municipality, I conducted test applications, observation forms, lesson plan adjustments, and workshop content creation for 800 students (normal intelligence) and 103 gifted students. I also provided training and seminars to the teachers who would teach in the workshops (art, robotics, mathematics, music, drama, astronomy, science workshops) on the points they should be mindful of when working with gifted children.
March 10, 2015
As the stage events coordinator for the “PSIFEST14” event, conducted by the Psychology Students Working Group, I managed the communication, organization, and arrangements for the events and music groups scheduled to perform at the ‘World Psychologists Day’ event, held in Caddebostan by the Turkish Psychology Students Working Group.

EDUCATION RECEIVED
Pedagogical Formation Training at Haliç University
This training enables me to provide Psychological Counseling and Guidance services in schools affiliated with the Ministry of National Education.
Sexual Therapy Training from the Sexual Education, Treatment and Research Association (CETAD)
With this training, I can provide psychotherapy services to individuals with sexual dysfunction.
‘Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-IV) Training’ provided by the Turkish Psychological Association
This training allows me to administer intelligence tests to children aged 6-16 according to international standards and provide counseling for the development of areas where they show deficits.
Sultangazi Science Center ‘Gifted Students Teacher Training Program’ (by Science and Art Center Trainer Sevgi ŞİŞMAN ASLAN)
The content of this training covered various techniques and methods on how to approach gifted and specially talented children, the identification and improvement of problems they face in education and social life. As a result of this training, I have acquired the competence to provide services to gifted and specially talented children.
’72 Hours’ Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Training within the Maltepe University Clinical Psychology Master’s Program (by Asst. Prof. Dr. Kuntay ARCAN)
In this training, I learned and am now able to apply the foundation of the Cognitive Behavioral approach, its theoretical explanations, and how to address treatment methods in detail for axis 1 and axis 2 patients.
’84 Hours’ Supervision Training within the Maltepe University Clinical Psychology Master’s Program (by Dr. Lecturer Kuntay ARCAN)
In this training, I received 84 hours of supervision training by seeing at least 5 clients with the Cognitive Behavioral approach. Furthermore, since the supervision training was conducted with a group of 5 students, I evaluated the mental processes of 40 clients over two semesters with supervision, completing my training.
Stanford Binet Intelligence Test Training
In this intelligence test, which can be administered from the age of 2, the child’s IQ score is obtained by applying various exercises that measure whether children have experienced issues in the developmental stages preceding their current age, whether they are performing at the level expected for their current age, and how far above their age they can perform. In addition, if there is a clinical observation during the test, these observations are noted in the report.
Play Therapy Training and Supervision
I received 36 hours of “Child-Centered Play Therapy” training provided by the Haliç University Continuing Education Center. The training content included the theoretical information and explanations of the child’s mental, physical, and psychological development, and the treatment protocol for behavioral problems in children. I receive supervision support for the child clients I see in play therapy from Developmental Psychologist Ebru KARATAŞ, who has been working in this field for seven years.
Schema Therapy Training
I received 58 hours of training covering the theoretical, conceptual, and treatment protocols of Schema Therapy provided by Psychiatrist Alp KARAOSMANOĞLU. Following this training, I developed my skills in the field of schema therapy through a total of 80 hours of supervision sessions. I am currently in the certification process to become an International Schema Therapist.
Psychodrama and Group Therapy Training
I participated in psychodrama workshops during my university education (a total of 240 hours over 5 semesters) and externally during my master’s studies (a total of 80 hours). Most of the psychodrama groups I participated in were led by Psychodramatist Prof. Dr. Arşaluys KAYIR. I developed myself in the theoretical knowledge, working areas, and treatment protocols of psychodrama. I am actively conducting psychoeducation group therapy and a psychodrama program with parents of gifted children. In previous periods, I worked with children in ‘Creative Drama’ and conducted voluntary adult group therapies, mostly composed of substance users.

During my internship at Erenköy Mental and Neurological Diseases Hospital in the third and fourth semesters of my master’s program, I participated in SAMBA trainer-of-trainers courses. I developed my skills in educating individuals about alcohol or substance use, equipping them with relapse prevention skills, improving their ability to cope with anger and stress, and mastering the treatment protocol.
