About Seyma

Seyma Gungor is a psychotherapist and a registered member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP). She has five years' experience and a background in mental health counselling, including an MSc in Mental Health Counselling and a BA in Psychology. She practises in the United Kingdom and works in English and Turkish.

Seyma helps people dealing with anxiety, depression, stress and relationship difficulties. She also supports those coping with grief, trauma and addiction. Parenting and family concerns are a named focus, and she works with adults who are managing family strain or the pressures of caring roles.

Her way of working centres on well-established therapeutic approaches. She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help identify thoughts and patterns that keep problems active. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current connections and feelings.

Seyma also applies client-centred principles, giving people time to talk through what matters to them and to set the pace. Sessions may include practical steps, emotion-focused conversation, and mindfulness exercises where helpful. She matches methods to what each person brings to therapy.

She has experience providing psychotherapy in individual, group and community settings. That background includes supporting people with co-occurring problems such as substance use alongside mood or anxiety issues. Her work aims to make day-to-day coping clearer and more manageable.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and trust. Online sessions can use conversation and reflective exercises to map those patterns and try new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and testing different behaviours; in online sessions this often includes brief practical tasks to try between meetings. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and work with strong feelings within relationships, using guided dialogue and reflection.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Seyma will discuss goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try first. That collaborative choice can change as therapy progresses and as what works becomes clearer.

The practical benefits of online work include easier scheduling around busy family life and less travel time. It can make sticking to regular sessions simpler and allow short check-ins when needed. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered and what will fit into your routine.
