Intro videoDamla Yanıkkol İşler
Clinical Psychologist · Ravensburg
I graduated top of my year from the Psychology Department of Ankara Üniversitesi in 2012. I was then accepted onto the “Clinical Psychology” master’s programme at the same university, which I completed with my thesis “Erken Dönem Uyumsuz Şemalar ile Kendine Zarar Verme Davranışı Arasındaki İlişki: Duygu Düzenleme ve Kişiler Arası İlişki Tarzlarının Aracı Rolü”. During and after my master’s I provided counselling from the cognitive behavioural therapy tradition. From 2014 onwards, in various institutions of the Turkish Ministry of Family and Social Policies, I had the opportunity to work with older people in residential care, with families in socio-economic hardship and with children in need of protection who had lived through various traumatic experiences. The experience and training I gained in that period gave me the ability to look at a person’s inner world from several angles and to develop a holistic approach tailored to each individual. I have been living in Germany for some time and offer online counselling in areas such as migration-related difficulties, problems of adjustment, anxiety, depression, loss and grief, stress, anger control, boundary and communication problems within the family, childbirth (difficulties before birth and in the postnatal period) and relationship problems. I also work with parents on the difficulties of parenting and develop solutions together with them.

How do you choose your psychologist?
Nobody is assigned to you. The four details below appear on every card and every profile — you compare them and decide yourself.
What they work with
Every profile says what the person works with: anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, grief, trauma, self-esteem. Match that against what brought you here.
Experience and training
How long someone has practised, and at which universities and institutes they trained, is listed item by item in their profile. Year, school, method — all visible.
Price per session
A 50-minute session costs between 60 and 85 €, depending on the psychologist you choose. You see the price before booking; there is no subscription and no membership fee.
Write for free first
Before deciding, you can send your chosen psychologist a first message free of charge. It commits you to nothing — and it is how you find out whether it fits.
Common questions when choosing
Yes. At Terapi Avrupa nobody is assigned to you. You choose yourself, based on the person’s focus, experience, training and session price.
Yes, you can move to a different psychologist at any time, and you do not have to explain why. Whether two people fit is one of the strongest predictors of whether counselling helps; staying in a mismatch serves no one.
Each profile lists the person’s training item by item: which university, which institute, which method. Every method someone works with is tied to a specific entry in that list.
Sessions are held in Turkish — that is the reason Terapi Avrupa exists. One of our psychologists also works in English; the languages each person works in are stated in their profile.
Sessions last 50 minutes. The price is between 60 and 85 €, depending on the psychologist you choose. There is no subscription and no membership fee — you pay only for the session or package you take. You can cancel or reschedule free of charge up to 24 hours beforehand.
Sessions take place online over Google Meet. After booking you receive a link by e-mail that is valid only for you and your psychologist; you can join from your phone or your computer. Nothing extra to install.
