Approach

I have a background in clinical psychology and training in various therapy modelities like systemic family therapy, cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT), Metacognitive Therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and solution focused therapy, I have an integrative approach based on the needs of the clients. While working with couples, I invite both partners to the first initial session to understand the needs and expectations of couples. After that I arrange individual sessions for each partner. During the therapy process some sessions are arranged for both partners and some sessions for each individuals. This way, both partners get a chance to explore what’s going on for them individually and together as a couple. My approach emphasizes the interconnectedness of individuals within their social and familial contexts, recognizing the importance of systemic dynamics in understanding and addressing psychological concerns. Through compassionate inquiry and skillful interventions, I assist clients in navigating life's challenges, fostering resilience, and promoting meaningful change. Collaboration with clients is at the center of my practice. My work is primarily based on exploring and improving the functioning of your cognitions, perceptions, emotions and behaviors in order to provide psychological flexibility, resilience and well-being. I offer 20 minutes of free initial session to understand your needs and expectations and evaluate if my approach is a good fit for you. For appointment scheduling, you could send a direct whatsapp message: +905336998454 --- Klinik psikoloji alanında eğitim almış ve sistemik aile terapisi, bilişsel-davranışçı terapi (CBT), metabilişsel terapi, psikodinamik terapi ve çözüm odaklı terapi gibi çeşitli terapi yöntemleri ile ilgili eğitimler almış bir uzman olarak danışanların ihtiyaçlarına dayalı bütünsel bir yaklaşım benimsemekteyim. Çiftlerle çalışırken, çiftlerin ihtiyaçlarını ve beklentilerini anlamak amacıyla ilk seansa her iki partneri de davet ederim. Ardından her bir partner için ayrı seanslar düzenlerim. Terapi süreci boyunca bazı seanslar her iki partner için, bazı seanslar ise her bir birey için ayrı ayrı düzenlenir. Bu sayede her iki partner de hem bireysel olarak hem de çift olarak neler yaşadıklarını keşfetme fırsatı bulur. Yaklaşımım, bireylerin sosyal ve aile bağlamları içindeki karşılıklı ilişkiselliğini vurgular ve psikolojik sorunları anlamada ve ele almada sistemik dinamiklere odaklanır. Danışanlarla işbirliği, uygulamamın merkezinde yer alır. Çalışmalarım, psikolojik esneklik, dayanıklılık ve iyilik hali sağlamak amacıyla öncelikle bilişsel süreçlerinizin, algılarınızın, duygularınızın ve davranışlarınızın işleyişini keşfetmeye ve geliştirmeye dayanır. İhtiyaçlarınızı ve beklentilerinizi düzenlemek ve benim yaklaşımımın size uygun olup olmadığını değerlendirmek için 20 dakikalık ücretsiz bir ilk seans sunuyorum.
