Seyma Gungor uses a blend of client-centred work and evidence-informed techniques to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression and life changes. She is a BACP member and brings five years of practice in the United Kingdom to each session. Seyma speaks English and Turkish and works with people on a range of concerns, from relationship and family tension to addiction and grief.

Seyma keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and she works with emotions and attachment needs to improve close relationships.

Background and approach

Conversations focus on what is happening now and on small steps that can make daily life more manageable. Her background includes a MSc in Mental Health Counselling and previous practice in the US and London. The BACP credential is shown as provided.

That experience includes individual work and group settings across several mental health areas. Seyma draws on this range when planning care with each person. Typical issues she addresses include anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma and substance use, as well as parenting strain, career stress and body image.

She also supports people dealing with grief, chronic illness, caregiver stress and communication problems. Sessions aim to clarify priorities and build coping skills that fit everyday life. Seyma adapts her approach to each person’s needs.

She combines attachment-based perspectives, client-centred listening and cognitive tools to set realistic goals. The focus is practical change, improved relationships and better day-to-day coping. If someone prefers therapy in Turkish or English, this is available.

Online formats are offered alongside other session types to suit different schedules.

How her approaches work online and in sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape connection and trust. It helps people see patterns in close relationships and work on feeling safer and more understood with others.

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre. The therapist listens without judgement, reflects what is said and helps the person find their own answers and strengths for coping with life challenges.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises to change thinking patterns, manage anxiety and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Seyma will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, then together they decide which methods to try. That collaborative planning can change over time as needs evolve.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer typing or who want brief, ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while still using the chosen therapeutic approaches.
