Olivya Canakci Malacioglu

Clinical Psychologist and Founder of Nova Lotus

I hold a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology of Adults from UCLouvain and am currently pursuing training in integrative psychotherapy at the same university. This dual training allows me to offer support deeply rooted in contemporary scientific knowledge, while remaining open, humane, and nuanced.

I currently work primarily with adults , offering individual therapy tailored to their needs and pace. I consult in French, English, and Turkish , allowing me to support people from diverse cultural backgrounds. I am particularly sensitive to the challenges faced by expatriates, migrants, or those living between multiple cultures: adaptation, isolation, culture shock, bilingual/multilingual identity, feelings of uprootedness, etc. These aspects are integrated into the therapeutic process when appropriate, in order to provide a safe and welcoming space for everyone.

My practice is integrative and primarily based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). These approaches allow me to work on thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and personal values. I adapt my methods and therapeutic framework to the unique needs of each individual, taking into account their history, personality, resources, beliefs, and cultural background. I work with an attentive, caring, and collaborative approach: the therapeutic alliance is central to my practice. My goal is to support individuals toward lasting psychological well-being, a deeper understanding of themselves, and an increased capacity to cope with the challenges of daily life.

Consultation days: Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 10:00 to 17:00 and Wednesdays from 10:00 to 14:00
