Individual psychological counseling is a process in which you can explore difficulties in your life, your relationships with yourself and others, and patterns that recur over time together with a psychological counselor.
I provide individual psychological counseling for adults in person at my office in Karşıyaka, Izmir, and online. My approach is primarily informed by psychoanalytic theories of psychotherapy and the Masterson Approach.
What Can Be Explored in Psychological Counseling?
People seek psychological counseling for different reasons. Sometimes a particular life event or difficulty in a relationship leads someone to begin counseling. At other times, it may be a situation that has been recurring for a long time, or a sense of discomfort that is not yet easy to describe.
Individual counseling can provide a space to explore relationships with oneself and others, recurring relational patterns, conflicts, and how these may have developed over time.
For more information about how recurring difficulties in relationships can be explored within individual psychological counseling, you can visit the Relationships page.
Approach
My work draws on psychoanalytic theories of psychotherapy. Within this approach, attention can be given not only to the events a person describes, but also to how they experience them, the ways they relate to themselves and others, and patterns that emerge over the course of counseling.
Psychoanalytic and psychodynamic approaches involve listening not only to the content of what has happened, but also to the ways in which experiences are described and lived.
Psychological counseling is not approached as a standardized program directed toward a single predetermined outcome. The content and course of the work develop in relation to what the person brings and what emerges during the process.
More information about my education, psychoanalytic training, and supervision can be found on the About page.
