Couples Counseling
Counseling for couples on communication, trust, conflict, and shared decisions.
In couples counseling I work with both partners together. The focus is not on deciding who is right, but on making the recurring patterns in the relationship visible and helping you hear each other.
What can you bring to counseling?
- Recurring arguments and communication breakdowns
- Damaged trust and rebuilding it
- Premarital preparation and shared expectations
- The transition to parenthood and differences about raising children
- Outside pressures such as families, work, and screen use
How do sessions work?
You are expected to attend the first session together. After listening to both perspectives we define shared goals. In sessions we work on habits of speaking and listening, and I suggest small practices to try between sessions.
Frequently asked questions
What if my partner does not want to come?
Couples counseling needs both partners. If your partner is not ready, we can address your concerns about the relationship in individual counseling.
Does the counselor take sides?
No. I stay at an equal distance from both partners and treat the relationship itself as the client.
We are considering separation; can we still come?
Yes. Whatever you decide, counseling can help you go through the process with less harm.
This service is not suitable for emergencies. If there is a risk of harm to yourself or someone else, call the local emergency number (112 in Türkiye) or go to the nearest health facility.
