Online therapy
From wherever you are, over a secure video connection. The same framework, the same care and the same confidentiality principles as in-person sessions.
Don't let distance stand in the way of support
Online therapy means holding sessions over a secure video call. The length and structure of the session and the approaches used are the same as in person; the only thing that changes is where we are.
If you live outside Istanbul or abroad, if your schedule is busy or if you simply feel better talking in your own space, online sessions can be a good option.
Who is it suitable for?
For many issues, online sessions can be nearly as effective as in-person ones.
-
People living far away
If you live outside Istanbul or abroad, it makes therapy in Turkish easier to access.
-
People with busy schedules
With no travel time, it fits more easily into your work or home routine.
-
People who feel at ease in their own space
For some people, it's easier to talk in a familiar setting.
-
People who want to keep going
It means ongoing therapy doesn't have to stop during a move or while travelling.
