Psychotherapy in English is offered for adolescents, adults, couples, and families in Kadıköy, Istanbul (in-person) as well as online. Clinical work is grounded in relational, dynamic, and postmodern traditions, with an integrative use of systemic therapy, emotion-focused approaches, and mentalization-based practice.
Sessions place particular emphasis on emotions and relationship patterns: how they develop, how they repeat, and what happens when understanding breaks down under stress.
The therapeutic space is structured and reflective, aiming to support careful exploration of personal and relational experiences within a clear clinical framework informed by contemporary psychological research. Sessions are typically held on a regular basis and tailored to the needs of individuals, couples, and families in a cooperative manner.
