Why Couples and Family Counseling?
Communication, one of the greatest dynamics of human relations, can make people feel very valuable at times in life while sometimes causing individuals to feel worthless and bad. To explain this part a little more, the healthier the communication we establish with people, the more positive and healthy the efficiency we will get from this communication will be.
When we do not get sufficient satisfaction from the communication we establish with our social environment, in other words, when we experience communication problems with our close circle, this situation can cause both psychological and physical problems. To overcome these problems we sometimes experience with our partner and sometimes with our family, 'couples and family counseling' will be one of our greatest supporters.

When is Couples and Family Counseling Appropriate?
One of the points we all agree on is that our lives are full of surprises. The fact that life is full of unknowns causes some fluctuating periods in our daily lives. These fluctuating periods sometimes appear in different forms such as job loss, city change, economic problems, mental crises, a sudden death, or news of a new child. Couples may not know exactly how to react to these suddenly developing both positive and negative situations and can harm both themselves and their relationships with great anxiety. At this exact point, online counseling, in other words, couples and family counseling plays an important role for individuals.

How is Couples and Family Counseling Conducted?
As an Eskişehir psychologist, we counselors act to build a sincere and reliable environment where both parties can express themselves in the best way by identifying exactly what the problem stems from. During online counseling, we give couples the right to speak to express themselves, and in this way, couples gain more information about each other and the problems they experience, while at the same time obtaining a suitable rehearsal environment experience to better understand and listen to each other. We plan to create a new communication channel by making the necessary suggestions for this healthy dialogue conducted during the online counseling process to be similarly integrated into daily life and for couples to adopt these healthy communication dynamics. In this way, couples learn to listen and understand the other party well, while at the same time learning to express themselves better and have a balance in their relationships.

What is the Role of the Counselor in Couples and Family Counseling?
First of all, online counseling, in other words, couples counseling is teamwork where all participants actively collaborate and participate in the process with devotion. The person who will lead and keep the control for this team is the counselor. During the online counseling process, while the online psychologist always stands at an objective point, they also act as a referee for both parties to express themselves well. During these interviews conducted accompanied by an expert or an online psychologist, mutual dialogues, verbal discussions, and confessions must also take place in a controlled manner. In times when the tension in the environment rises, the online counselor intervenes to calm the environment and gives necessary warnings. This tension that emerges in the online counseling environment is also a repetition of the problem couples experience in their daily lives. By correctly addressing this tension that occurs in the environment, the counselor tries to provide insight or awareness by informing couples about where this tension stems from.
