Sena Kurtulmuş, Speech and Language Therapist
Hello ! I'm Sena Kurtulmus. I have been working as a speech and language therapist since July 2019. During my education and academic life, I did volunteer internships in many kindergartens, hospitals and rehabilitation centers. I attended various congresses, seminars and therapy training programs throughout my student and professional life. In 2020, I established my own counseling center on the European Side of Istanbul and held numerous sessions with clients of all ages. In October 2021, I started my master's degree in speech and language therapy at Atlas University (with thesis). I also conduct sessions with my clients whose mother tongue is English. As of September 2021, I have been conducting speech and language therapy sessions mostly with child/adolescent clients aged 0-16 and individuals aged 50 and over with acquired language & speech disorders.
