About

Clinical psychologist Seda Akçakaya completed her undergraduate studies in psychology at Okan University in 2014. She stayed at the same university for a master's degree in developmental psychology, finishing in 2017 with a thesis on incest ("Ensest").

Wishing to specialise further, she then joined Üsküdar University's clinical psychology master's programme. She graduated in 2019 with the thesis "A Cross-Sectional Study on the History of Sexual Abuse Among Individuals Living in Istanbul" and qualified as a clinical psychologist. Her pedagogical training, completed at Kocaeli University in 2018, added a further dimension to her professional skills.

Clinical focus

Ms. Akçakaya concentrates on the mental health of children and adolescents. With teenagers and their families, she works to resolve the intergenerational conflicts that often surface in adolescence and to improve communication at home. With younger children she uses child-centred play therapy to guide them through their emotions and help them build coping skills. She also uses standardised tests to assess children's developmental and psychological progress on a scientific basis and to follow it over time.

She practises as a clinical psychologist at NPİSTANBUL Hospital.
