Growing up between two cultures has profoundly shaped both my personal journey and my professional work. Born in Türkiye, I moved to Switzerland at the age of 13 and experienced first-hand what it means to navigate different cultural value systems, family expectations, gender roles, and concepts of belonging.
Migration is more than adapting to a new country. It often requires people to renegotiate their identity, relationships, and inherited beliefs about love, sexuality, partnership, marriage, and family. Values that once created security can become sources of inner conflict in a different cultural context. Many people living between cultures struggle to balance personal autonomy with family loyalty and tradition.
These experiences inspired my work as a systemic constellation facilitator and adult educator. I support individuals, couples, and groups in recognising unconscious family and cultural patterns that influence identity, partner choice, intimacy, and relationships. My approach combines systemic constellation work with experiential learning, enabling participants not only to understand these dynamics intellectually but also to experience meaningful transformation.
A particular focus of my work is how cultural narratives around gender, sexuality, and relationships are transmitted across generations. Rather than rejecting one's cultural heritage, constellation work offers the opportunity to honour one's roots while consciously choosing beliefs and relationship patterns that support a fulfilling adult life.
Having lived between cultures myself, I bring both professional expertise and lived experience to this work. I create safe, culturally sensitive learning spaces where participants can explore complex questions of identity, belonging, and connection. I believe lasting change becomes possible when inherited cultural scripts are transformed into conscious choices, allowing people to integrate the strengths of different cultures and build authentic, healthy relationships.
