A personalized process where you can address your emotions, thoughts, and life experiences in a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental therapy environment.
Individual therapy is a professional process where a person addresses their emotions, thoughts, behaviors, and life experiences in a safe conversational environment.
Therapy is not only an area to turn to when experiencing a specific difficulty. It can also be a supportive process for a person to get to know themselves better, recognize recurring life patterns, evaluate their relationships, and make sense of the changes they need in their life.
Each client's reason for starting therapy, life experience, and expectations are different. Therefore, sessions are shaped according to the person's needs rather than a standard program.
The aim in individual therapy is not to provide ready-made answers to the client; it is to create a safe space where the person can evaluate their own experiences more openly, develop new perspectives, and recognize their own resources.
Therapy is not a one-way process where a person is told what to do; it is a professional working area where thoughts, emotions, and needs are interpreted together.
The first meeting is an assessment area where the client meets the expert and can share the reason for starting therapy to the extent they wish.
In this meeting, current life conditions, topics for which support is sought, previous therapy experiences, and expectations from the sessions can be discussed.
The client is not expected to share every detail of their life or fully determine therapy goals in the first session. The process progresses as the trust relationship develops and the client feels ready.
Throughout the initial meetings, the process the client is experiencing, their needs, and priorities are evaluated together.
This assessment can focus not only on the challenges faced but also on the person's strengths, existing support resources, relationships, and life conditions.
The topics and goals to be addressed in the therapy process are determined together with the client.
These goals may change or be rearranged over time. The therapy plan is not an unchangeable program set at the beginning of the process.
Sessions are usually held at regular intervals. The frequency of meetings is determined according to the client's needs, the expert's assessment, and the characteristics of the therapy process.
Each session can be a continuation of the previous meeting; however, different topics can also be addressed according to the client's current needs.
Throughout therapy, needs, goals, and the progress of meetings are evaluated together at certain intervals.
The client can openly share their thoughts, expectations, and needs regarding the therapy process with their expert.
Intense thoughts about the future, difficulty coping with uncertainty, a constant feeling that something bad will happen, or worries affecting daily life can be addressed during the therapy process.
Work life, academic processes, family responsibilities, or a fast-paced life can cause a person to feel mentally and emotionally exhausted.
During the therapy process, stress sources, the person's boundaries, and the balance in their life can be addressed together.
Experiences such as lack of motivation, withdrawal, intense fatigue, or reduced satisfaction from life can be the subject of the therapy process.
Critical thoughts towards oneself, feelings of inadequacy, intense need for approval from others, or the tendency to put one's own needs in the background can be evaluated.
Recurring communication difficulties in family, friendship, romantic relationships, or work relationships can be addressed within the scope of individual therapy.
Starting a new job, moving, getting married, experiencing a breakup, becoming a parent, or transitioning to a different phase of life can create intense emotions.
The process of adapting to these changes can be supported with therapy.
The therapy process can help a person become more aware of their emotions, thoughts, needs, and behaviors.
This awareness can support more conscious evaluation of decisions made in daily life and relationships established.
It may not be easy to define, interpret, or share some emotions.
A non-judgmental conversational space can support a person in expressing their experiences at their own pace.
A person may sometimes notice that similar relationship cycles, thought patterns, or behaviors are repeated.
Therapy can provide a space to evaluate how these patterns are formed and their effects on current life.
It is not necessary to have a specific diagnosis or wait for the situation to completely halt daily life to start individual therapy.
While some clients seek therapy due to intense anxiety, stress, or relationship difficulties, others may want to get to know themselves better, evaluate their direction in life, or work on specific decisions.
Wanting to understand one's values, needs, boundaries, and priorities in life can be a valid reason to start therapy.
Evaluating one's thoughts in a safe space during decisions related to relationships, career, education, or life arrangement can be supportive.
Therapy should not only be considered as a process started after experiencing a difficulty.
It can also be a protective working area that supports a person's emotional resilience, self-awareness, and healthy coping skills.
The duration of therapy is not the same for everyone.
The duration of meetings can vary depending on the client's needs, the topics addressed, therapy goals, meeting frequency, and changes experienced during the process.
Some clients may work on a specific and limited topic, while others may prefer a longer and more comprehensive process.
It is not always possible to determine a definite number of sessions for therapy from the start.
The progress of the process and the frequency of meetings needed are evaluated together by the client and the expert.
It is important for the client to actively participate in the process, share their thoughts, and provide feedback about therapy.
Open communication between the expert and the client contributes to the process progressing in a way that suits the person.
Individual therapy sessions can be conducted face-to-face or online when suitable conditions are provided.
In both forms of meetings, confidentiality, regularity, professional boundaries, and ethical principles are maintained.
Face-to-face therapy is conducted in the clinic's private consultation rooms.
The meeting environment is arranged considering the client's comfort in expressing themselves and maintaining their privacy.
Online therapy is conducted through a secure video conferencing platform.
It is important for the client to be in a private environment where they can be alone, not be interrupted, and feel comfortable during the meeting.
The suitability of online or face-to-face meetings can be determined together with the expert by evaluating the client's needs, life conditions, and the topics to be addressed.
Therapy sessions are conducted within the framework of professional ethical principles and confidentiality.
The personal information shared by the client during the sessions is protected in accordance with relevant ethical standards and legal regulations.
The scope of confidentiality and legal exceptions are shared clearly and understandably at the beginning of the therapy process when needed.
It is fundamental for the client to express themselves without judgment, ask questions about the process, and share their needs.
Confidentiality and professional boundaries contribute to maintaining this secure space.
It is not necessary to wait for the difficulty experienced to reach a very advanced level to start therapy.
Topics such as self-awareness, setting boundaries, evaluating relationship patterns, or adapting to life changes can also be addressed during the therapy process.
Therapy is not a process where ready advice or direct instructions are given.
The expert supports the client in understanding their experiences, evaluating their options, and developing decisions suitable for their own life.
The client is not expected to share their entire life story in the first meeting.
The process progresses at a pace where the person feels safe and ready.
Seeking support can be associated with recognizing one's needs and taking care of mental health.
Starting therapy can provide space for a person to evaluate their life more consciously.
The main aim of individual therapy is not to make decisions for the client in their life; it is to create a safe space where they can evaluate their own emotions, needs, and options more openly.
You don't have to plan everything you will say in detail before the first meeting.
It is sufficient to share your reason for starting therapy and the topics that are a priority for you in your own words.
The first session is not just a meeting where the expert evaluates you.
It is also a space where you can evaluate the communication you establish with the expert, how you feel in the meeting environment, and your expectations about the process.
Adults who want to evaluate their emotions, thoughts, relationships, or specific processes in their life in a professional consultation space can apply for individual therapy.
Suitability is evaluated according to the person's needs in the initial meetings.
In the first meeting, your reason for starting therapy, your current life conditions, your expectations, and the topics you want to address as a priority can be discussed.
You are not expected to share everything in the first session.
Individual therapy sessions are mostly planned to last approximately 50 minutes. The duration and form of the meeting are explained by the expert at the beginning of the process.
The frequency of meetings is determined according to the client's needs, therapy goals, and the expert's assessment.
While weekly meetings may be preferred in many processes, the frequency can vary depending on the person.
The duration and progress of therapy are different for everyone. The topics addressed, therapy goals, meeting frequency, and the person's participation in the process can affect this duration.
No definite promise of results or duration is given.
Online therapy can be a professional consultation option when suitable client and environmental conditions are provided.
Whether online meetings are suitable for the person should be evaluated together with the expert.
Psychologists do not prescribe medication. If medication evaluation is needed, a referral to a psychiatry specialist can be made.
Psychotherapy and psychiatric follow-up can be carried out together in some cases.
