Melissa Arslan

Melissa Arslan holds a bachelor’s degree in Sociology from Ankara University and actively works in the fields of family, relationship, marital, and sexual counseling. Her practice is grounded in the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) framework. Depending on clients’ needs, she draws on Schema Therapy–based approaches, NLP practices, and ACT-informed techniques, integrating a systemic perspective through Family Constellation methods when appropriate. She adopts an eclectic counseling approach that places each client’s individual experience at the center of the process. In her work with children, she utilizes play- and story-based methods and provides guidance to parents through drawing analysis and age-appropriate developmental assessment tools. She places strong emphasis on creating a safe and supportive environment where clients can express themselves freely. Her goal is to help individuals share their emotions and experiences openly, while feeling secure and supported throughout the counseling process.
