Ceyda Soyudal, BACP

Ceyda Soyudal uses an integrative, practical approach to therapy that focuses on what helps in daily life. She blends short-term techniques with deeper reflective work to help people reduce anxiety, manage stress and cope with life changes. Ceyda speaks English and Turkish and brings 15 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

Her work often focuses on common difficulties such as low mood, worry, relationship strain and self-esteem problems. She also supports people facing trauma, grief, parenting challenges and intimacy-related concerns. Additional areas she pays attention to include neurodiversity, multicultural issues and immigration-related stress.

Ceyda uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and change patterns that maintain distress. She also draws on Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills for emotion regulation and Mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. Narrative and psychodynamic ideas are used to understand personal stories and recurring relationship patterns.

In sessions she aims for clear, practical steps alongside space to reflect. Ceyda encourages people to notice strengths and small changes that build over time. Her style is straightforward and warm, focused on helping people find manageable ways forward.

People choose her when they want both immediate coping tools and a chance to make longer term changes. She supports the process of deciding which methods fit each person’s needs and goals.

Online approaches that combine skills and story work

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviours that keep problems going, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and stress. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy offers practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance, often used when people struggle with intense reactions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and help people feel calmer and more grounded.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit each person’s situation. That collaborative process helps people try out techniques and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work, while chat and messaging are helpful for shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to access consistent support even with a busy schedule.
