Does this sound familiar?
The problem isn’t you — it’s the language you have to explain yourself in
Maybe you contacted a local practice and were given a slot months away. Maybe you went, and half of what you wanted to say got lost on its way into a foreign language. Staying exactly where you are for another year often looks like the easiest option.
The usual route
- Waiting months for an appointment
- Explaining what hurts in a foreign language
- Committing before you know the person
- City traffic, waiting rooms, a day off work
With
- You write your first message today
- You pick your psychologist yourself, from their profiles
- Sessions in Turkish, with someone who knows your culture
- Write for free first, decide afterwards
- From home, on your phone or your computer
The choice is yours
Choose your psychologist yourself
Look through their specialisms, their experience and their session fees. Continue with the person you feel comfortable with; if it doesn’t fit, you can switch to someone else.

Intro videoDamla Yanıkkol İşler
Clinical Psychologist · Ravensburg
I graduated top of my year from the Psychology Department of Ankara Üniversitesi in 2012. I was then accepted onto the “Clinical Psychology” master’s programme at the same university, which I completed with my thesis “Erken Dönem Uyumsuz Şemalar ile Kendine Zarar Verme Davranışı Arasındaki İlişki: Duygu Düzenleme ve Kişiler Arası İlişki Tarzlarının Aracı Rolü”. During and after my master’s I provided counselling from the cognitive behavioural therapy tradition. From 2014 onwards, in various institutions of the Turkish Ministry of Family and Social Policies, I had the opportunity to work with older people in residential care, with families in socio-economic hardship and with children in need of protection who had lived through various traumatic experiences. The experience and training I gained in that period gave me the ability to look at a person’s inner world from several angles and to develop a holistic approach tailored to each individual. I have been living in Germany for some time and offer online counselling in areas such as migration-related difficulties, problems of adjustment, anxiety, depression, loss and grief, stress, anger control, boundary and communication problems within the family, childbirth (difficulties before birth and in the postnatal period) and relationship problems. I also work with parents on the difficulties of parenting and develop solutions together with them.

An hour that is only yours
Individual Counseling
One hour a week that belongs to you alone. You speak in your own language and never have to translate what you feel. Your psychologist listens, and together you map out a way forward — at your own pace.
- Those coping with feelings such as anxiety, stress, anger, panic attacks or hopelessness
- Those who feel directionless, indecisive or stuck in their lives
- Those who feel that past experiences are affecting their present state of mind
The distance between the two of you
Couples Therapy
Living in the same home and slowly becoming strangers is more common among couples in Europe than you might think. You attend the sessions together; your psychologist takes no sides and creates ground on which talking becomes possible again.
- Couples who struggle to communicate or argue constantly
- Those who feel they no longer understand each other or have grown emotionally distant
- Those affected by factors such as family pressure, childcare or cultural differences

Cognitive behavioral therapy delivered virtually or over the internet (eCBT) has emerged as an effective alternative to traditional face-to-face CBT for a range of mental health issues, including anxiety and depression.

The greatest advantage of psychotherapy delivered via video is that it can also help people who would normally not be able to access therapy.

What Does Science Say?
“Online Therapy Is as Effective as Face-to-Face Sessions”
Scientific research has repeatedly shown that online therapy is just as effective as face-to-face therapy in the process of emotional recovery. Online sessions allow people to express themselves more openly in their own space — feeling safe and comfortable in their own home.
At Terapi Avrupa, we offer this powerful method to the Turkish community in Europe in a safe, confidential and accessible way.
