Approach
Psychoanalysis and psychotherapy unfold with a steady, curious attention that helps you feel heard and unravel repeating patterns. In my Istanbul consulting room or via English or Turkish online sessions, I pace work to your tolerance—sometimes slow, sometimes focused—bringing together lived experience, dreams and relational moments to make unconscious threads visible. Between sessions you may be invited to notice interactions or images that return, which then become material for reflection. This way of working tends to suit adults, couples and families seeking deeper, lasting shifts.
