A safe space to look at yourself more closely.
A professional counseling process with a psychodynamic approach, aimed at understanding your recurring patterns and creating lasting change.
Not just relief, but understanding yourself.
Individual psychological counseling is a structured process in which psychologist and client together examine the inner world, relational patterns, past experiences and current life difficulties.
The goal is not only to ease distressing symptoms. It is for you to notice and transform the patterns you have built with yourself, your relationships and the world.
In my work I mainly use the psychodynamic approach. It holds that today’s difficulties are often linked to earlier relational experiences, unconscious patterns and inner conflicts not yet recognized — and it therefore aims to get to the root of change.
Topics you can come to counseling with
Your difficulty does not have to fit exactly into one of the topics below. Every process is shaped by the person’s own life story.
Anxiety and panic
Generalized anxiety, panic attacks, social anxiety, health anxiety and a constant state of alertness.
Depression and burnout
Low energy, loss of meaning, difficulty with motivation, and intense work or academic pressure.
Overthinking
Indecision, getting stuck in your head, replaying past conversations again and again, and rumination.
Relationship patterns
Repetition of similar relationships, attachment difficulties, trust issues, separation and loneliness.
Identity and meaning
Periods in which the questions deepen: who am I, what do I want and what kind of life do I want to build?
Grief and life transitions
Loss, separation, moving, career change and important turning points in life.
A safe and steady framework that reduces uncertainty.
Getting acquainted
In the first session we look at what brings you to counseling, your expectations and whether working together is right for you.
Regular sessions
Sessions usually take place once a week and last 50 minutes. They can be held in person in Istanbul or online.
Deepening
The length depends on the topics addressed and your goals. We review the rhythm and progress of the work together.
Real, lasting work instead of quick promises.
The psychodynamic approach does not aim only at momentary relief. It aims at an ever deeper understanding of yourself, behavior patterns that change as you notice them, and a safer inner world.
You will never be pushed to talk about anything you are not ready for.
The process follows your personal story and needs rather than ready-made recipes.
All sessions take place within ethical principles and strict confidentiality.
The first step can be just a conversation.
The introductory session is a calm starting point, both for me to understand you and for you to assess the counseling process.
