Mr Barış Soylu

Licensed Psychologist

“Barış Soylu completed his undergraduate education at Dokuz Eylül University, Department of Psychology. Professionally since 2021; She conducts face-to-face and online psychotherapy with adult and adolescent clients.”

About Me

I provide psychotherapy for adults and adolescents, both face-to-face and online. My goal is to help you explore your thoughts and feelings in a welcoming, supportive space. We can work together to understand challenges and build practical ways forward. Choosing between in-person or online sessions ensures comfort and flexibility. I aim for a connection where you feel truly heard.

Approach

Sitting together — whether in a quiet Istanbul office or online in Turkish — I focus on creating a steady, collaborative rhythm that feels safe and practical. Sessions combine careful listening with structured steps: short assessments, gentle exploration of trauma or relationship patterns, and doable cognitive–behavioral experiments that you can try between meetings. I keep pace responsive to adolescents and adults alike, checking in on what’s working and adjusting next steps. This approach tends to suit people who want clear, compassionate direction alongside personal reflection.
