Hello, I'm Büşra

I'm a clinical psychologist. Since 2018 I've worked with children, adolescents and adults in my private practice in Kuwait and Istanbul, offering a safe space that honours each client's own story.

I specialise in migration psychology, anxiety disorders, depression and relationship issues, working with clients both online and in person.

Emotion Detectives — Emotional Education for Kids

I'm creating Turkish animated episodes for ages 4–6, grounded in social-emotional learning (SEL). Each episode focuses on one emotion, teaching children to recognise and regulate their feelings through small, memorable strategies.
