Özge Göz

I’m Özge, a Clinical Psychologist supporting adults who are navigating challenges such as trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. I also work with performance-related difficulties like exam anxiety using structured approaches such as PERGEL (Performance Improvement Program). My background combines international academic training with hands-on clinical experience. I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology at Hacettepe University in Turkey and my Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology (Child and Adolescent) at Utrecht University in the Netherlands. I am currently a PhD candidate in Psychology at the Catholic University of Portugal, focusing on emotions, trauma, and psychological well-being. Alongside my research, I provide individual psychotherapy to adults from diverse cultural backgrounds. My approach is flexible and tailored to each person, drawing from evidence-based methods including EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Attachment-Based Family Therapy (ABFT). I have also worked on the ground as a psychologist in a trauma center following the earthquake in Turkey, supporting individuals in acute crisis. In our sessions, my priority is to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and not judged. We will work together to make sense of your experiences, understand patterns that may be holding you back, and find practical ways to help you feel more balanced, resilient, and in control of your life. Reaching out for support is not always easy, but it is a meaningful first step. If you’re considering therapy, you don’t have to go through things alone.
