FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Are online sessions as effective as in-person?
Research consistently shows that online therapy is equally effective for most concerns, including anxiety, depression, and even EMDR for trauma. Many clients actually find it easier to open up from the comfort of their own home.
What time zones do you work with?
I'm based in Istanbul (UTC+3) and offer early morning and evening slots to accommodate clients in Europe, the Americas, and Australia. We'll find a time that works for both of us.
How do I pay?
Payment is via bank transfer (IBAN) before each session. Session fees are confirmed at the time of booking.
What if I need to cancel?
Please give at least 24 hours' notice. Cancellations with less notice, or no-shows, are charged at full rate.
Do you work with children online?
Yes — I use adapted Theraplay activities that work well on video. Parent involvement is key, especially for younger children. I'll guide you through the process.
Is everything confidential?
Yes. All sessions are strictly confidential in line with Turkish professional ethics and KVKK (Turkish data protection law). Information is only shared in the rare cases required by law.
