Bugda Savasir Ulug

Based in Philadelphia, I am a somatic experiencing practitioner with a unique blend of international training and experience. Background in trauma-informed psychotherapy licensed and practiced in Istanbul and currently certified as a Life Coach in the USA, I bring a diverse and holistic approach to supporting individuals through life’s challenges.
In 2016, I earned my practitioner certificate in Somatic Experiencing (SEP) from the European Association for Somatic Experiencing. Since then, I have balanced private practice with assisting Somatic Experiencing trainings in both Istanbul and the United States. I provide personal sessions to Beginner and Intermediate Level trainees,
Throughout my career, I have been deeply committed to community support, volunteering with the Somatic Experiencing team in Istanbul during the COVID-19 pandemic, where I offered online sessions to nurses and first responders. In 2023, I extended this work by providing online sessions to search and rescue teams after the devastating earthquake in Turkey.

In my practice, I focus on:
• Tuning into clients\' emotional and somatic experiences to foster deeper connections
• Identifying and strengthening my clients internal and external resources
• Expanding the body’s capacity to manage overwhelming emotions
• Resolving deeply ingrained patterns
• Enhancing feelings of safety, trust, self-worth, connection, and belonging

Sharing my expertise in this transformative body-centered therapy I have supported individuals facing significant life challenges, including loss, grief, separation, anxiety, relationship difficulties, aging and trauma. My goal is to empower clients to heal and thrive, even in the most challenging circumstances.
