EMDR Therapy in English
EMDR Therapy is available in English for individuals seeking support in Istanbul, either online or in person. This evidence-based approach is particularly effective in treating trauma, and distressing life experiences. Whether you're living in Istanbul or connecting from abroad, you can access EMDR Therapy in a format that suits your needs. Sessions are conducted in a safe, confidential environment, with therapists trained to work fluently in English and experienced in supporting individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds.
Adolescent Therapy in English
Adolescent therapy in English is available in Istanbul for teenagers navigating emotional, behavioral, or relational challenges. Sessions can be held either in-person or online, offering flexibility for international families, expats, or students attending English-speaking schools. English-speaking therapists support adolescents in developing healthy coping mechanisms, improving communication, and addressing issues such as anxiety, low self-esteem, school-related stress, or identity concerns. Therapy is tailored to each young person’s unique needs and takes place in a supportive, confidential environment.
Couples Therapy in English
Couples therapy in English is offered in Istanbul to help partners improve their relationship dynamics, whether facing communication difficulties, emotional disconnection, or conflict. Sessions are available both online and face-to-face, making them accessible to English-speaking couples, expats, or bi-cultural partners living in Turkey. Therapists provide a neutral, non-judgmental space where couples can explore their concerns, strengthen emotional bonds, and work toward healthier ways of relating. Evidence-based methods such as Emotionally Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method may be integrated depending on the couple’s needs.
