Psychological counselling in Kadıköy, Istanbul
We are two psychologists from different academic backgrounds. Rather than fitting therapy into a single mould, we take into account each person's needs, life story and circumstances. Sessions in English, Turkish and French.
Our approach
Our team brings together academic training in neuropsychology and cognitive psychology with psychotherapy and counselling work with children, adolescents and adults. We work across child and adolescent psychotherapy, cognitive behavioural therapy for adults, family counselling, and psychometric and neuropsychological assessment.
We adapt evidence-based methods to each person's age, needs and goals. Living in another country — or between two languages — can make some things harder to put into words. Offering therapy in English, Turkish and French allows us to work with clients from many cultural backgrounds, in the language they feel most at home in.
