Dilara Saçal

Clinical Psychologist

“In order to qualify my area of expertise during my Clinical Psychology education, I received both Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Psychodynamically Oriented Therapy training. For the last two years, I have been conducting a psychoanalytically oriented psychotherapy process in the fields of individuals psychotherapy.”

About Me

I offer psychoanalytically oriented psychotherapy for individuals seeking deeper understanding. My training also includes Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and psychodynamic approaches, allowing me to tailor our work. We can explore how past experiences subtly influence your present. This offers a space to reflect and gain profound self-awareness. This approach suits those ready to unpack complex feelings and build lasting change.

Approach

My clinical training guides how I listen and respond, blending attention to thought patterns with curiosity about deeper, often unnoticed meanings. In sessions in Ankara or online, in Turkish or English, I keep a steady, reflective pace that balances focused inquiry with moments to pause and make sense of feelings. We track repeating patterns, try small experiments between meetings when helpful, and slowly connect present struggles to earlier emotional themes. This way of working tends to suit adults navigating stress, burnout or those seeking grounded self-understanding.
