The Initial Connection: A Warm, No-Pressure Start

Your first meeting is simply a warm, gentle conversation designed to see if you are a good fit for one another. There is no pressure to "perform"; the goal is for Şener to listen to your hopes and concerns, and for you to feel comfortable asking questions. This establishes the profound safety and trust required for successful therapy.

An Integrative Approach: Connecting the Dots

Drawing heavily from Systemic, Humanistic, and Psychodynamic therapies, Şener helps you understand that current struggles are often rooted in past experiences. He acts as a guide to bring these patterns to light with curiosity rather than judgment. His role is to listen deeply and offer reflections that help you connect the dots between your history, your feelings, and your present-day challenges.

These aspirations become the "guiding stars" for the work. Whether checking in on progress or exploring what is present that week, the focus remains on empowering you to make new choices for a more connected future.
