Irem Simsar, M.Sc.

Psychologist specializing in Person-Centered Psychotherapy

We know that professional support can be transformative when navigating the changes, uncertainties, and challenges encountered at every stage of life. As I accompany you on your life journey, my goal is to support you in discovering your own potential within a safe, non-judgmental space. In my practice, I prioritize approaching my clients’ needs with a holistic perspective. I integrate “Somatic Experiencing”, a method focused on the nervous system and body awareness, into my work, which is grounded in a Humanistic approach. In this way, I offer support for your personal growth journey from cognitive, emotional, and somatic perspectives. I specialize in the impact of early life experiences on our present lives, emotional regulation difficulties, relationships, and personal boundaries. Additionally, thanks to my in-depth knowledge of Turkish culture and my multicultural approach, I provide support during migration and adaptation processes.

My therapeutic work focuses on following areas

  • Support for emotional regulation difficulties
  • Coping with uncertainty
  • Relationship issues
  • Boundaries
  • Self-compassion
  • Support during life transitions (migration, education, career)
