Ms Göksu Çolak

CBT Psychotherapist

“I have worked with adult clients with post-traumatic stress disorder and clients with personality disorders. I also provided support to adults with generalized anxiety”

About Me

I help adults navigate the complexities of post-traumatic stress, generalized anxiety, and personality disorders. As a CBT Psychotherapist, I offer structured, evidence-based sessions focused on practical coping strategies. My approach helps clients build resilience and find clearer paths forward. You can expect a collaborative space to address deep-seated patterns and move towards lasting well-being.

Approach

Having worked with adults facing trauma, persistent worry, and complex personality dynamics, I focus on clear, paced sessions that mix short-term skill practice with reflective moments to notice unhelpful patterns. In my Ortaklar Caddesi office in İstanbul, Turkish-language sessions move deliberately: we set focused goals, try techniques together in-session, and I often suggest brief, concrete exercises to try between meetings. This way of working suits adults who want practical tools alongside thoughtful exploration to steady daily functioning and deepen self-understanding.
