Ceyda Soyudal uses an approach that blends practical skills with exploration of life stories. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and mindfulness to help people manage stress, anxiety and depression. Ceyda works in English and Turkish and has 15 years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom.

Her sessions focus on clear, down-to-earth conversation. She helps people spot patterns that keep them stuck and then tries small changes that make daily life easier.

Background and approach

That can mean learning skills to cope with strong emotions, practising mindful ways to slow down, or reworking upsetting thoughts. Ceyda pays attention to personal history and relationships. She uses narrative and psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape current struggles.

This is balanced with practical tools so people leave sessions with something to try between meetings. She also supports people facing life transitions, parenting stresses, career pressures and grief. Additional focus areas include trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, bipolar and ADHD.

Ceyda works with multicultural and immigration-related matters and with people who have intellectual disability or autism and Asperger syndrome. Ceyda is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That is the credential listed in her background.

She aims to create a calm space where clients can talk, experiment and build confidence at their own pace.

How therapeutic approaches come alive online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and gives practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress because it teaches tools people can apply between sessions.

DBT, or Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, concentrates on coping with intense emotions and improving emotional regulation and interpersonal skills. It can help when people are struggling with strong reactions, anger or relationship tension.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. From there they try methods together and adjust the plan as needed so the work feels useful and manageable.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a visual presence helps, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, notes between meetings or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel and to keep continuity when circumstances change.
