Belin Berse

I have professional experience as a Clinical Psychologist and Psychotherapist, having worked at Recrea Academy between July 2020 and July 2025, where I delivered psychological support to individuals presenting with a range of mental health difficulties, including anxiety disorders, panic disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder, primarily using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). I completed comprehensive training in all levels of CBT and conducted over 2,000 therapy sessions, developing strong skills in psychological assessment, formulation, and evidence-based intervention. In addition to CBT, I hold professional certifications in Psychodynamic Therapy, Schema Therapy, Psychological First Aid, Picture Analysis techniques, and Addiction Treatment, which enable me to adopt an integrative and flexible therapeutic approach tailored to individual needs. I also volunteered between February 2023 and February 2025 in providing psychological first aid and CBT-based trauma interventions for individuals affected by the Hatay earthquake in Turkey, supporting survivors through early intervention strategies aimed at reducing acute trauma symptoms and facilitating longer-term psychological recovery. Throughout my practice, I have demonstrated strong communication skills, ethical awareness, and adaptability, including transitioning to online therapy during the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure continuity of care.
