Ayse

Ms Ayse Hazir, MA

Psychotherapist

“I am an Integrative Psychotherapist, drawing extensively from Relational Life Therapy (RLT) and Existential Therapy. I work with individuals and couples. I see therapy as a collaborative process where we explore not only the difficulties that bring you to therapy, but also the patterns, relationships, and life experiences that shape who you are. ”

About Me

My interest in psychotherapy grew from a longstanding curiosity about what it means to be human and how our relationships, life experiences, and values shape the way we live. I am particularly interested in how people make sense of periods of change, loss, uncertainty, and emotional struggle, and how therapy can create space for new understanding and possibility. I offer therapy in both English and Turkish and work with adults from diverse cultural backgrounds. I believe that meaningful change begins within a trusting therapeutic relationship, where people can feel genuinely heard while also being supported to face difficult questions with honesty, compassion, and curiosity. My aim is to provide a thoughtful, collaborative space where you can explore your experiences at your own pace.

Approach

I offer a collaborative, reflective approach to therapy, helping you make sense of your experiences and discover new ways of being. My practice is grounded in an understanding that every individual’s experience is unique, shaped by their history, relationships, and the meanings they ascribe to their world. Working with me is about engaging in a dialogue. In that dialog the aim is to meet 'you', reconnect with your values and make meaning.
