Ms Esen Aksoy

Licensed Clinical Psychologists

“I am a clinical psychologist, holding a master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Instituto Superior de Estudios Psicologicos de Barcelona, bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Bilgi University. I work as an existentialist and psychodynamic therapist(Turkish-English-French) for 4 years.Free introductory 20 minutes.”

About Me

I offer existential and psychodynamic therapy, guiding individuals to explore deeper meaning and understand unconscious patterns. With four years of experience, I provide a compassionate space for self-discovery and personal growth. My approach supports those navigating life transitions or seeking clarity in their relationships. Sessions are available in Turkish, English, or French, and I offer a free 20-minute introductory call.

Approach

Conversations move from practical concerns to deeper questions about choices and recurring feelings, with gentle curiosity and focused reflections guiding each step. Sessions from my Istanbul practice or online—in Turkish, English, French or Spanish—are paced to your needs, often pairing close listening with short invitations to try new ways of noticing between meetings. I help people trace how past patterns shape current stress, relationship strains or identity shifts, then test small changes together. This suit people seeking thoughtful, steady support through transition and uncertainty.
