mosaic psychology

Hello and welcome,

I’m Mine, a psychologist with over 18 years of experience and a deep love for this work. I hold a Master’s degree (M.A.) in Clinical Psychology and have been supporting expats for more than 14 years.

In 2019, I also became an expat myself, and since then, I've been living and working in Maastricht, the Netherlands, where I founded my own practice: Mosaic Psychology

How I work.

I offer in-person sessions at my cozy office in the heart of the city, just behind Vrijthof, and I also work online when that feels more accessible. I work exclusively with adults and provide therapy in English and Turkish.

A bit about my approach.

Therapists don’t need to have lived every experience their clients bring—but for some themes, shared understanding can make the work feel safer and more connected. I share certain lived experiences with many of my clients, such as being an expat and being neurodivergent, and I believe this helps me meet people with greater sensitivity and attunement.

My professional training is rooted in behavioral therapies. I received extensive training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) during my master’s studies and was introduced to mindfulness, which continues to inform my work. I have completed advanced training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and the International ,Schema Therapy Certification Training with Dr. Alp Karaosmanoğlu. My therapeutic style is eclectic and flexible, with a strong foundation in behavioral therapies.

Outside the therapy room

I have a strong creative side. I studied classical piano for four years at the Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University State Conservatory, and singing has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve sung in choirs, performed as a lead singer in cover bands, and taken on one of the lead roles in a musical production. Creativity continues to nourish both my personal life and my work as a therapist.

If you’re curious about working together or have questions before taking the next step, you’re very welcome to reach out.

Wishing us all, a meaningful life,

Cheers,
Mine

Psychological Counselling for Expats in Maastricht

Maastricht is an international city with a strong academic and professional community. Many of my clients are: * International professionals * International students, PhD candidates, and university staff * Partners of relocated employees * Freelancers and remote workers Common themes include: * Loneliness and social isolation * Burnout and overwork * Anxiety and chronic overwhelm * Cultural adjustment stress * Feeling “in between” identities * Relationship strain after relocation Living abroad can intensify existing patterns such as perfectionism, people-pleasing, or over-responsibility. Psychological counselling offers space to slow down, reflect, and develop more sustainable ways of relating to yourself and others. (Many people refer to this process as therapy; I provide private psychological counselling tailored to your needs.)
