International Therapy & Counselling

Hello! I am a psychologist (Masterpsycholoog in Dutch) living in Leiden, Netherlands. 🛋 On top of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy training I received in M.Sc. in Clinical Psychology from Leiden University, I have completed ISST approved Schema Therapy Training and seeing clients under supervision. 🎓 I studied psychology in Turkey (2016, high honour graduate) before completing my master in Clinical Psychology from Leiden University (2018, cum laude). Currently working towards my PhD in epidemiology in Erasmus MC, Rotterdam. 🤝 I can help you gain a better understanding of your feelings and thought processes, and find your own solutions to psychological problems. But I will not give advice or tell you what to do. I'll listen and support you without judgement. Schema therapy is an integrative psychotherapy combining theory and techniques from previously existing therapies, including cognitive behavioural therapy, psychoanalytic object relations theory, attachment theory, and Gestalt therapy. In schema therapy, we'll work with you to uncover and understand your schemas, sometimes called early maladaptive schemas. Schemas are unhelpful patterns that some people develop if their emotional needs aren’t met as a child. These schemas can affect you throughout life and contribute to problematic coping methods and behaviors if they aren’t addressed. Schema therapy aims to teach you how to ensure your emotional needs are met in a healthy way that doesn’t cause distress. See you soon! Cevdet Acarsoy ✉️ cevdet@expatpsychology.nl
