Esen Aksoy

My professional perspective has been shaped by both academic training and lived experience across different cultures. Spending formative years in France and Spain, living and studying alongside people from diverse backgrounds, deeply influenced how I understand identity, belonging, and inner conflict. I also spent three years in a multinational corporate environment, an experience that clarified my desire to move away from externally defined success toward deeper questions of meaning, subjectivity and inner life. I completed my BA and MA in Philosophy at Middle East Technical University and Boğaziçi University, where my interest in existential questions and subjectivity first developed. This foundation later led me toward psychological work, which I deepened through my psychology education at Istanbul Bilgi University and a Master’s degree in Clinical and Health Psychology at Instituto Superior de Estudios Psicológicos (ISEP) in Barcelona. I value genuine human connection and aim to offer a space where people do not need to perform or have clear answers from the start. Curiosity is prioritized over judgment, and depth over quick solutions, allowing difficult thoughts and emotions to be explored at a pace that feels right for you. Outside my professional life, I stay grounded through movement and nature. Dancing, running, swimming, yoga, time outdoors, and relationships with animals shape how I listen and relate — with patience, care, and presence. I see this work as a shared, deeply human process, and aim to accompany individuals with honesty and respect as they move toward a more meaningful life.
