Mrs Yonca Kırmaz Sargın

Family Therapist

“I have been offering online consults, specifically to Türkish ex-pats. - people who live in foreign countries, I also work face to face from an office in Antalya, Turkey - Sisu Psychology.”

About Me

As a Family Therapist, I understand the unique challenges families face, especially when living abroad. I offer online consults specifically for Turkish ex-pats, providing a supportive space to navigate cultural adjustments. For those in Turkey, face-to-face sessions are available at Sisu Psychology in Antalya. My aim is to help families strengthen connections and find clarity, wherever they are.

Approach

Working remotely with clients abroad and in my Antalya office, I focus on practical pacing and small, steady steps that fit busy lives overseas. Sessions shift between Turkish and English, combine short-term goals with attention to long-standing family patterns, and often include simple practices to try between meetings. I listen for cultural strain, map interaction habits, and coach parents and couples toward clearer, calmer ways of relating that feel achievable. This pace tends to help those balancing relocation, work and healing from difficult experiences.
