Who are we?
Counselors at Sabancı University Individual Counseling Center are Clinical Psychologists trained in their fields of study. The principle of confidentiality applies at all times during the counseling process. Scope, functions, and limits of counseling are determined by the ethical and professional codes of the discipline of clinical psychology. If you do not feel comfortable about how confidentiality and trust principles apply to the counseling process, the best way to learn how is to directly contact the counselors instead of attending to overheard or second hand information. Counselors are always ready to discuss these matters with you.
