Cansu Güney, MSc

I graduated from St. Benoît French High School in Istanbul and completed my undergraduate studies in Psychology at Istanbul Bilgi University. I later earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Işık University. During my undergraduate education, I completed internships at Marmara Research and Training Hospital’s Psychiatry Department, where I worked in the areas of family and couples therapy, sexual dysfunctions, and anxiety disorders. I also worked with children diagnosed with pervasive developmental disorders in special education centers. In addition, I volunteered as a psychologist and educator in non-governmental organizations including TEGV (Educational Volunteers Foundation of Turkey) and TOFD (Turkish Spinal Cord Paralytics Association). During my graduate studies, I completed my clinical internship at Erenköy Mental and Neurological Diseases Hospital and conducted individual psychotherapy sessions under supervision at Işık University Clinical Psychology Unit. Throughout and following my graduate education, I provided psychological counseling services to English- and French-speaking preschools. Between 2019 and 2024, I continued my clinical work with children and adolescents at Madalyon Psychiatry Center. Since 2021, I have been translating psychoanalytic articles and texts for Psikanaliz Defterleri and various publications. Since the beginning of my professional career, I have actively pursued seminars and trainings in psychoanalytic theory and practice. I continue to receive individual supervision from a psychoanalyst affiliated with the International Psychoanalytical Association (IPA) and the Société Psychanalytique de Paris (SPP). I currently practice at the office I co-founded, where I provide psychoanalytic psychotherapy both online and in person. I offer therapy in Turkish, English, and French, and continue my work in psychoanalytic book and article translation. I am also a member of the Clinical Psychology Advisory Board at Işık University. I am a member of the Turkish Psychologists Association and the Istanbul Psychoanalytic Psychosomatics Association.
