Hello, I am Clinical Psychologist Burcu Göktaş. First of all, I would like to say that if you are on this platform, you understand the importance of doing something for yourself and making space for yourself. I would like to be able to accompany you as you get to know this field, discover your own resources, and on your journey with yourself. In addition to providing therapy in my mother tongue, I also offer therapy in English. If I talk about my own perspective; I do not prefer to stick to a single school in therapy, I have an eclectic point of view. I have a body-oriented clinical psychology background and I am aware that the interaction between mind and body forms the basis of many issues in our lives. Sometimes, even if we can't measure and weigh the effects of certain feelings or events, the "body" can signal this, and the body keeps a record of these signals. Therefore, body-focused work has an undeniable role in making the individual feel a wholeness and understand himself better. In fact, therapy is like a car journey that the individual takes within himself; "We are all on a road in life, we need to feel that we are in control so that we can enjoy and feel comfortable on this road.." And the therapy process aims to give the individual dominance on this road.
