Miss Esma Nazar

Psychologist

“I'm a psychologist offering online support sessions for anyone seeking deeper understanding. My approach is psychoanalytic, Lacanian-oriented, and grounded in attentive listening — ideal for those navigating emotional, cultural, or existential challenges.”

About Me

I am a psychologist in Istanbul who offers counseling for dream work, relationship issues, and stress and burnout. I provide a confidential, down-to-earth space for short-term or ongoing therapy. I help you interpret dreams, improve relationship communication, and manage burnout.

Approach

Sessions unfold as a careful exploration of what surfaces in your speech, dreams and relationships, with psychoanalytic and Lacanian ideas guiding gentle curiosity. I work online from Istanbul in English or Turkish, keeping a steady, confidential frame that supports short-term and ongoing work. Together we trace recurring themes, link dream material to waking life, and slow down moments of overwhelm so you can find meaning and practical relief. This pace tends to fit adults seeking deeper self-understanding and more grounded connections.
