Client approach
Believing that each individual's background and needs are unique, she approaches her clients with a holistic perspective rather than a one-size-fits-all model. She addresses emotional, cognitive, and relational dimensions together, aiming to understand the person not only through their presenting issues but as a whole.
The therapeutic process is shaped collaboratively with the client, respecting their pace and individual needs. She is currently offering both online and in-person counseling services in English and Turkish at Özel Vivere Aile Danışmanlık Merkezi.
