About Seyma

Seyma Gungor is a psychotherapist and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with five years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. She trained in psychology and completed an MSc in Mental Health Counselling. She offers help for stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, low self-esteem, anger, grief, trauma and addictions, among other concerns.

Seyma draws on a mix of practical therapies in sessions. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to examine patterns of thinking and behaviour. She also works from a client-centred stance, which means conversations focus on what matters most to the person in front of her.

Her background includes individual and group work in community and therapeutic settings. She has worked with people dealing with co-occurring difficulties such as substance use alongside mood problems, and with those managing complex life changes. That variety informs a flexible approach to common problems like sleep disruption, career stress and relationship tension.

Sessions often include skill-based work alongside talking. Clients can expect to practise techniques for regulating strong emotions, improving communication, and managing unhelpful thinking. Mindfulness and motivational strategies are used where helpful to support change.

Seyma offers therapy in English and Turkish and sees clients in the UK as well as internationally. Fees vary by location and are delivered through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Attachment-based work focuses on how people connect and respond in relationships. Online sessions can be used to look at patterns of closeness and distance and to practise clearer communication in everyday interactions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical skills for changing those patterns. CBT exercises adapt well to online conversations and can include homework and brief skill practice between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to agree which methods to try first, and adjust plans based on what helps. This means sessions can shift between skill practice, talking through difficult events, and planning small changes that fit a client's life.

The original profile lists online counselling and telephone counselling alongside face-to-face work, but current session formats should be confirmed before booking. Online and phone options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving and travel. They also allow shorter check-ins when needed and let people choose whether to use video or audio for their session.
