Uzm. Psk. Eda Kalaycıoğlu

Uzm. Psk. Eda Kalaycıoğlu is a clinical psychologist working in the Psychiatry & Psychology unit at Acibadem Kent Hospital (Izmir) in İzmir. Her clinical work centers on the psychological assessment and treatment of anxiety-related and mood conditions in adults, including obsessive compulsive disorder, panic disorder, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and social phobia and specific phobias.

She completed her undergraduate degree in Psychology at Yasar University in 2022 and went on to complete her training in Clinical Psychology at Beykoz University in 2024. She joined Acibadem Healthcare Group in 2025 and has more than four years of professional experience in psychology. Within the Psychiatry & Psychology unit she works alongside psychiatrists and other mental health professionals, so that patients whose care may also require medical evaluation or medication can be assessed within the same team.

Clinical focus

A significant part of Uzm. Psk. Eda Kalaycıoğlu’s practice is dedicated to obsessive compulsive disorder, a condition in which intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors can take up considerable time and interfere with daily life. She also sees patients with panic disorder, in which recurrent and unexpected panic attacks lead to persistent worry about further episodes, as well as patients with social phobia and specific phobias, where marked fear of particular situations or objects can restrict work, study and social activity. In each case, assessment aims to clarify the pattern of symptoms, how long they have been present and how they affect functioning, before a psychological treatment plan is discussed with the patient.

She additionally works with individuals experiencing depression, including low mood, loss of interest and changes in energy, sleep or concentration, and with those living with post-traumatic stress disorder following a distressing or life-threatening event. Where symptoms overlap, for example when anxiety and depressive symptoms occur together, the assessment takes the full clinical picture into account. Because responses to psychological treatment vary from person to person, progress is reviewed over the course of care and the approach is adjusted as needed.

How Uzm. Psk. Eda Kalaycıoğlu works with international patients

International patients are supported by the Acibadem international patient team, which coordinates the collection of prior reports before the visit, including previous psychological or psychiatric assessments, discharge summaries, laboratory results and details of any current or past medication, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit itself. A first consultation with Uzm. Psk. Eda Kalaycıoğlu typically covers the patient’s history and current symptoms, a review of any previous treatments, a clinical assessment and a discussion of the possible options and what a course of psychological care might involve. Interpreters can be arranged for patients who prefer to speak in their own language, which is particularly relevant in psychological work, where clear communication is an essential part of the assessment and treatment process.
