The name Crystal Mind was chosen to honour the intricate beauty of every individual’s inner world. Just as no two crystals are alike —each varying in shape, colour, and clarity— every mind carries its own patterns, depths, and unique brilliance. Crystals shine effortlessly, not by striving or forcing, but simply because that is their nature.

Yet their brilliance is also valuable, because it takes immense time, pressure, and history to form — a reminder that every mind’s clarity and resilience are shaped by experiences and growth.

In the same way, our minds have the capacity to shine when held in a space of safety, acceptance, and gentle warmth. Here, the mind can slow down, rest, and breathe. Layers of tension, doubt, or uncertainty begin to soften, revealing clarity that was always present beneath the surface. Each part of the self—the tender, the fragmented, the strong, and the hidden — can be acknowledged and integrated, harmonizing into a fuller, more luminous whole.

Just as light passes through a crystal and reflects in countless directions, therapy can illuminate the many facets of who we are, allowing us to move through the world with presence, understanding, and quiet confidence.

Crystal Mind is a space to return to yourself, to reconnect with your natural clarity, and to honour the effortless and hard-earned beauty that is uniquely yours.

The Story of Crystal Mind

Every therapy journey is unique, shaped by your story, your experiences, and your strengths.

I strive to create a space that is authentic, warm, and deeply empathetic, where relational healing, personal growth, and self-awareness can flourish.

Shaped by my Turkish background, I hold a deep appreciation for the complexities of identity, belonging, and transition. My lived experience helps me connect with those navigating the intersections of culture and immigration, and with those whose histories are marked by displacement, resilience, and adaptation. I strive to hold space that honours each person’s story and acknowledges the intergenerational and cultural layers that shape who we are and how we move through the world.

I value intersectionality and bring awareness of cultural, political, and societal influences into my therapy practice. I honour your identity, values, and lived experience, including intergenerational and cultural roots, and strive to provide an accessible and safe space where you can explore and be fully seen.

Together, we can create a space where you feel accepted, empowered, and understood, a place to explore your story, strengthen your resilience, and nurture meaningful change.
