Nisa Melek Çete, Psychologist

Nisa Melek Çete is a psychologist at Acibadem International Hospital in İstanbul, where she works within the Psychiatry & Psychology unit. Her clinical work focuses on sleep disorders and extends to a range of anxiety-related and mood conditions in adults, as well as child and adolescent psychology. She joined Acıbadem Healthcare Services in 2026.

Her education includes studies at Nişantaşı University and Yeni Yüzyıl University. Alongside these studies she has completed a series of therapeutic trainings: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Training at Esenyurt University (2024), Play Therapy Instructor Training at İstanbul University (2024), Sandplay Therapy Training at İstanbul Kent University (2026) and training in the Moxo Dikkat Testi (Moxo Attention Test) (2026). These trainings shape the methods she uses in her work with both adult and younger patients.

Clinical focus

Sleep disorders form a central part of Nisa Melek Çete’s practice. Her areas of expertise include insomnia and sleep apnea, which she approaches from a psychological perspective as part of a patient’s overall care. In adult mental health, she works with post-traumatic stress disorder, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, illness anxiety, phobias and bipolar disorder, as well as relationship problems. Cognitive behavioural therapy is one of the main approaches she applies in these areas.

Her work with children and adolescents draws on her play therapy and sandplay therapy training. She offers play therapy and parenting guidance, and her areas of interest include hyperactivity and the broader psychological needs of children and adolescents. The Moxo attention test is among the assessment tools in which she has trained. The scope and structure of any therapeutic work are determined individually after an initial assessment of the patient’s or family’s concerns.

How Nisa Melek Çete works with international patients

Nisa Melek Çete consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. The hospital’s international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and relevant documents, such as previous psychological or medical assessments, discharge summaries and any sleep-related test results, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and current symptoms, a review of previous treatments and existing reports, a clinical assessment and a discussion of possible therapeutic approaches. Video consultations are available for international patients, which may be used for an initial discussion or for follow-up after treatment has begun. Any recommendations made during a consultation depend on the individual situation and are reviewed as therapy progresses.
