Metin Olatas

Since 2015, I have been working in the field of psychotherapy with adolescents and adults. With my experience in individual and couple therapies, I care about establishing a safe, respectful and in-depth therapeutic relationship with my clients.

I believe that each individual's life story is unique; I see the therapy process as a space where the person can take a closer look at themselves, explore their feelings and realize their inner transformation. So far, we have worked together with many clients on relational problems, identity searches, life crises, emotional difficulties and inner conflicts.

I see psychotherapy not only as a problem-solving process, but also as a journey in which the individual deepens his/her relationship with himself/herself. It is both meaningful and transformative for me to accompany each individual on this journey to discover his/her inner resources and reconnect with life.

I conduct my work with a holistic approach, within an existentialist perspective and from an eclectic point of view. I attach importance to structuring the process in a flexible and unique way according to the needs and life dynamics of each individual.

In addition to psychotherapy, as part of a holistic approach, I also offer consultancy services in the areas of healthy life coaching and professional life coaching. With a psychotherapist's perspective in these areas; I support individuals to build a more balanced, healthy and satisfying life not only in emotional but also in physical, mental and professional dimensions of their lives.

I work online with clients living not only in Turkey but also abroad. I lived in Austria for two years in order to understand cultural diversity and different life contexts; this experience helped me to develop my therapeutic perspective in an international framework.

Between 2022 and 2024, I taught at Izmir Tınaztepe University. My academic work allowed me to integrate theoretical knowledge with practice and deepen my professional experience.

In addition to the works I mentioned above, in 2023 I published “A Political and Psychological Perspective: Turkey, Greece, EU and Syrian Refugees” in 2023 and “Music Therapy 101: Music Therapy Application Methods” in 2025.
