Meet your therapist Ozhen

My story

I am 36 years old and of Kurdish descent. I came to Denmark at the age of two, and I am deeply grateful for the many wonderful opportunities growing up here has given me.

I have always had a deep love for reading and personal growth. Although it has been challenging at times, I have thoroughly enjoyed my journey as a student through high school, university, and most recently, my psychotherapeutic education and it will certainly not be my last learning journey.

My path into psychotherapy truly began 5–6 years ago when I started immersing myself in the work of Esther Perel (psychotherapist and couples therapist) and Gabor Maté (physician and psychotherapist). It was particularly Esther Perel’s fascinating approach to human relations that inspired me to take the leap and train to become a psychotherapist.

My great passion for personal development is the very foundation of why I am a certified psychotherapist today. I have always been fascinated by how much influence we actually have over our own lives once we discover it. We hold so much inner strength, as long as we are provided with the right tools, resources, and insights.

In my personal life, one of my greatest passions is traveling and speaking with people from different cultures and countries. This has given me a nuanced perspective on the world and a deep understanding that we as human beings live in many different ways, without one being more right than the other.

My education and personal experiences have given me so much, and I look forward to passing this knowledge on to you when you choose to prioritize yourself in my practice.
