Approach

Sessions move at a steady, collaborative pace that mixes short-term problem-solving with moments to reflect on identity and belonging. In Istanbul or online, we use clear check-ins, brief skill practice during the hour, and gentle follow-up tasks so insights carry into daily life. EMDR-informed stabilisation and structured cognitive work surface alongside culturally attuned exploration, tailored to your rhythm and tolerance. People facing change, overwhelm, or cross-cultural strain often find this approach grounding and practical.
