ACT/CBS Background and Training: I have completed training and group supervision through the Contextual Behavioral Science and Psychotherapies Association (TÜRBAD), totaling 90 hours. The training was conducted by Prof. Dr. Fatih Yavuz, Dr. Sevinç Ulusoy, and Dr. Ahmet Nalbant, providing me with a strong foundation in contextual behavioral approaches and practical guidance to strengthen my therapeutic skills. During my PhD, I tested ACT-based internet interventions to support mindfulness among international and Turkish-speaking students, which I have also culturally adapted to ensure their relevance and effectiveness. In my current postdoctoral project, I continue to apply ACT principles using internet interventions.
