He has completed training in play therapy for children ages 3–12, which uses play as a symbolic language and aims to help children resolve their conflicts.

For children and adolescents with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and impulse control issues, he implements the Play Attention training program—for which he received coaching training from the Institute for the Gifted (ÜZE)—to develop fundamental skills such as improving attention and memory, completing tasks, following instructions, and planning.

In his psychotherapy work with adults, children, and adolescents, he has adopted the Cognitive-Behavioral approach. He continues his work using a cognitive-behavioral approach in the areas of behavioral problems, depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, and obsessive-compulsive disorder in children and adolescents.
