I’m Selin, a Child and Adolescent Psychologist. I have done my bachelor’s degree at the University of Amsterdam and further studied Child and Adolescent Psychology Masters at Leiden University. I also have further training & experience especially with young adults, but also of all ages. After my studies, I have worked as a behavioural therapist with children on the autism spectrum, helping them build communication, social, and daily living skills and social-emotional growth. 

In the clinical field, I have experience working with children, their immediate families, as well as young adult LGBTQ+ asylum seekers in one- on-one conversations addressing various issues including sexuality and identity, depression, anxiety of being in a foreign country, addiction, OCD, sexual problems, family dynamics, social relationships, academic challenges, self- confidence, insecurities, personal growth and many more topics with numerous different complex issues.

Originally from Cyprus, grown up in a bicommunal country and being based in Amsterdam for my entire adult life, I understand the struggles of living in a new country, difficulties of growing up and how life can sometimes throw things at us that makes us feel lost. In those moments, we often just need a bit of guidance and space to hear our own voice.

I find it a pity that it is somehow still to this age very difficult to receive help with such long waiting-lists and complicated procedures. But when challenges arise, that’s exactly when help should be available. Therefore in my private practice, my goal is to make therapy as accessible as possible for you by striving to be there as support, especially during times where life can feel overwhelming and too much to handle alone.
