Efkan Kocaoglu

Hello. My name is Efkan and I speak both Dutch and English fluently. I have studied Psychology at one of the best universities in the Netherlands called Leiden University. Since my graduation back in 2013 I have been active in the mental health sector by working as a psychologist/therapist. I have been trained in cognitive behavioural therapy, but my interests lay farther than that. I am a big fan of psychoanalysis and I use different techniques and theories from all psychotherapy schools in my practise. The type of technique and theory I use depends on the person I am trying to help. I am not a strong believer in diagnosis as I think people are too complex to be put in a box, but nonetheless if need be I have experience in diagnosing clients according to the DSM-IV and/or DSM V. I have seen and treated most mental illnesses, while working back in Holland as a therapist for institutions like PsyQ and Parnassia. Going into therapy is one of the hardest and most rewarding things a person can do. As part of my training I too have been in therapy so I know how it is to be on the receiving and giving end.

I hereby invite you to my home office for a cup of tea to discuss your personal growth. My home office is within 10 minutes walking distance of the Main Square. I have a very personal approach. I am naturally a warm and open person. I don't believe in conducting therapy in a cold distant way that is considered professional by old school therapists. I find that old school therapists/doctors use professionalism as an excuse to be cold and distant, because it is always easier to be cold and distant if your job consists of the hard task of trying to heal illness. To such therapists/doctors I say find a job that is less demanding for you or see less clients so you can handle the workload.

Some personal things about me:

I am a vegetarian. I love to lift weights and do martial arts like Muay Thai and MMA. I am into poetry, spirituality, religion, history, literature and philosophy. In my free time I love to do the sports I have just mentioned or discuss with friends how to make the world a better place for everybody, including animals.
