Banu Sungun

Hello, I am Banu!

A long time ago I decided to improve my life. I didn't know how and in what way yet, I would clarify in time, but it was worth working on and exploring.

First of all, I needed to know myself and focus on my inner world. As a therapist working in the field of positive psychology, I can guide you on your own journey.

Who am I? How do I define myself? What are my values and priorities?What is the definition of a "good life" according to me? The answers to all these questions lie around discovering our own selves and taking steps in the process of personal development.

If you are ready to embark on this journey, I would be happy to guide you on topics such as self-awareness, life purpose, and psychological balance.

You can explore my academic background and career journey before getting customized support.

Confidentiality is the most important issue for psychologists, and within the framework of the ethical rules that psychologists follow, it is forbidden to share personal information with others.

How long will it take to solve my problem?
The duration of therapy depends on individual needs. Usually, 8-12 sessions are recommended to achieve short-term goals, but deep transformations can take longer. It is a process that varies depending on the complexity of the problem, your cooperation and effort.
