Online Psychologist in İstanbul – Clinical Psychologist Mine Tosuner
For people looking for an online psychologist in İstanbul and the surrounding area, video therapy makes it far easier to find an appointment and to keep going. Mine Tosuner has been working online with clients across the Marmara region for years.
Who is online therapy in İstanbul suitable for?
Online support is a practical solution for anyone in İstanbul with irregular working hours, with a small child who cannot be left for long, living in a district that is hard to reach the centre from, or unable to find a therapist locally who works in the relevant specialism.
That said, not every situation suits online work. Acute suicide risk, heavy substance use or a picture that requires psychiatric medication monitoring calls for in-person work with a multidisciplinary team. We assess this together in the first session, and if the picture is not suitable I refer you on to the right place.
- Adults with demanding jobs who cannot make a fixed clinic time
- Clients living in İstanbul districts with difficult access to the centre
- University students studying away from home
- Couples where one partner is in a different city
Therapy methods used for clients in İstanbul
Rather than applying one method to everyone, I choose the approach that fits each client from İstanbul. If the effect of a traumatic event persists, EMDR comes first; if lifelong relational patterns repeat, schema therapy; if the difficulty is the relationship itself, Gottman couples therapy.
- EMDR therapy — processing traumatic memories
- Schema therapy — working on early schemas
- Gottman couples therapy — evidence-based work with couples
- Adult individual counselling
- Adolescent counselling and sessions with parents
- MOXO attention test and assessment
Which districts of İstanbul are clients accepted from?
Because sessions are held online, clients are accepted from every district of İstanbul. I work with clients from across the province — Kadıköy, Beşiktaş, Üsküdar, Bakırköy, Şişli and Ataşehir in particular — and from other provinces in the Marmara region.
A stable internet connection and a room where you can be alone for 50 minutes are enough for a productive session. I recommend headphones; they make a difference both to sound quality and to privacy.
- Kadıköy
- Beşiktaş
- Üsküdar
- Bakırköy
- Şişli
- Ataşehir
- Maltepe
- Beylikdüzü
- Pendik
- Bahçelievler

Frequently asked questions
How does an online session from İstanbul work?
At your appointment time you are sent a video link. You can join from a computer, tablet or phone; no software installation is needed. The session lasts 50 minutes and is scheduled in İstanbul local time.
Is online therapy in İstanbul as effective as in-person therapy?
Comparative studies in anxiety, depression and trauma show no meaningful difference in effectiveness between the two. What matters is the quality of the therapeutic relationship and keeping sessions regular. For pictures that require medication monitoring or carry acute risk, I still recommend in-person, multidisciplinary care.

Do sessions stay confidential?
Yes. The professional ethics and legal obligations that bind psychologists apply to online sessions in exactly the same way. Sessions are not recorded and their content is not shared with third parties.
Can I continue therapy if I move away from İstanbul?
Yes — this is one of the most practical aspects of working online. You can continue with the same therapist from another province of Türkiye or from abroad, picking up where you left off.
How much does a psychologist in İstanbul cost?
Fees are agreed before the first session and depend on whether the work is individual or with a couple. Please ask when you get in touch — I will tell you the current fee clearly, with no obligation.
How do I find a good therapist in İstanbul?
Look at the therapist’s training and accreditation, whether they work with your specific difficulty, and how you feel in the first session. A method that is evidence-based — such as EMDR, schema therapy or the Gottman method — is a reasonable starting filter.
Is online therapy from İstanbul confidential?
