Ipek's therapeutic approach is rooted in psychodynamic and relational psychoanalytic psychotherapy. She has had intensive psychoanalytic training including years of weekly supervision during and post-graduate studies as well as engaged in psychoanalytic process research.

She pays close attention to her clients' recurring patterns, attachment styles, emotional dynamics, and the ways past experiences shape their current feelings and behaviours. Ipek is highly effective in helping her clients make sense of what may feel confusing or overwhelming and make meaningful, lasting change at a deeper emotional level. She is passionate in helping her clients feel more grounded, emotionally free, and have more authentic relationships with themselves and others.
