WHAT IS PSYCHOLOGICAL COUNSELING?

Psychological counselling is a professional help process for individuals who want to know themselves, understand their behaviors, increase and improve their awareness, experience difficulties from time to time in coping with problems, and want to identify their problems and produce solutions. More generally, it is a process that helps individuals cope with adaptation problems related to the situations they encounter in their daily life.

The person who receives help in the psychological counseling process is called the " counselee" and the specialist who gives the help is called the " counselor".

One of the most basic principles of counselling is confidentiality. The content of the interviews are not shared with anyone else. Therefore, all interviews with individuals, including before and after the application to the unit, remain confidential. However, data obtained from an individual can be shared with the related authorities in case of abuse, risk of suicide, any harm to the individual or someone else, or any vital danger.

Our individual counseling sessions take place face to face. Interviews take approximately 50 minutes. The time, frequency and duration of the interviews are decided together with the counselee.
