About me - Karl Perera
 

Let me tell you a little about myself. I lived in Izmir (Western Turkey) for many years and now live in the UK and do go back to Turkey regularly. I am married to Elgiz and have a son Daniel 17 and a daughter Ebru 25. I have worked in Electronics, Sales and Teaching. I am not a mental health professional or doctor just someone with a lot of life experience to share. I have been asked to elaborate on my life experience, so here goes...

I have lived in Australia, England, Italy and Turkey and moved around a lot especially when I was 5-11 years old. This created a number of problems even at that young age. I speak Italian, Spanish and Turkish. I have overcome low self esteem, inferiority, depression and much more in my life and as a result of my experiences felt that I could help others overcome and defeat these debilitating problems. In 1994 I moved to Turkey from England having married two years earlier with a five month old baby boy. That year I also took my final exams at University. The culture shock I faced and change in lifestyle presented real challenges and difficulties. Currently I am living in England but spend part of the year in Turkey.
