TERRY PORSILD

Head of Clinic

I am Terry, I was born in Canada but moved to The Netherlands when I was 26. I married there and had 2 sons.

 I finished my Master’s degree in Health Care and Clinical psychology at Leiden University in 1991. I did all my post-graduate training and experience in The Netherlands. I have trained in many different therapy methods, but my favorite is EMDR, a technique which is very helpful for people suffering from traumatic experiences.

I came to Kurdistan in 2017 and have been working with local psychotherapists, training, teaching and doing clinical supervision about psychotherapy and psychotrauma.

Since 2018 I have been affiliated with the Institute of Psychotherapy and Psychotraumatology (IPP).  I am excited and proud to be leading their outpatient clinic program in Duhok.
