Meliha Kolçak

Hello, I’m Meliha Kolçak. After completing my BA in Psychology at Boğaziçi University, I earned my PhD in Clinical Psychology at King’s College London. Today I work with adults in individual psychotherapy, at my clinic in Nişantaşı and online.

How I work

I believe the most restorative part of therapy is the relationship built between client and therapist. Change rarely comes from advice; it tends to grow on its own in a space where you are listened to without judgement, never rushed, and truly understood.

My clinical practice is grounded in relational dynamic and existential psychotherapy. Together we explore how past experiences echo in our relationships, our decisions and our bodies today. Where it helps, I also draw on EMDR therapy and compassion-focused therapy.

Sessions

Sessions last 50 minutes and usually take place weekly. In the first session we talk about what brought you here and what you hope for, and consider together whether working together feels right for you. I see clients in person at my clinic in Nişantaşı, or online over end-to-end encrypted platforms.

Ethics and confidentiality

I am a full member of the Turkish Psychological Association and conduct all my work within its Code of Ethics. Regular supervision and continuous training are essential parts of a sound, ethical practice.
