Seyma Gungor, BACP

Seyma Gungor uses a person-centred and attachment-aware approach to help people facing distress. She blends practical technique with careful listening to support someone facing anxiety, depression, relationship strain or major life change. Seyma communicates plainly and aims to make sessions steady and predictable for people who feel overwhelmed.

Seyma holds a BACP credential, which indicates registration with the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists. She has five years of clinical experience and practises in the United Kingdom. Sessions are offered in English and Turkish and can be arranged online or by phone.

In sessions she draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and try small experiments to test new ways of acting. She also uses attachment-based perspectives to look at patterns in close relationships and how they affect current difficulties. Emotionally focused methods help people name and sit with strong feelings, while existential themes can help when life feels uncertain.

Seyma works with a wide range of concerns such as stress, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, sleeping problems, parenting strain and intimacy-related issues. She also offers support for career stress, compassion fatigue, bipolar and ADHD related struggles when these are part of someone’s presentation.

Her style is direct but warm. Sessions aim to build clearer thinking, more reliable coping and better communication in relationships. People are invited to set goals and to review progress in practical ways as therapy continues.

Approach and Online therapy options

Seyma draws on attachment-based work to look at how early connection patterns affect current relationships, helping people notice recurring interaction styles and try different responses. She also uses client-centred techniques which prioritise the person’s own pace and priorities, offering an open space where the client’s concerns guide the work. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavioural experiments to reduce anxiety and lift mood.

Finding the right approach is a shared task. Seyma will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the balance of techniques over time. This collaborative process means practical steps and emotional reflection are blended in the way that feels most useful to the individual.

Online therapy can be delivered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls make it possible to read facial cues and have a longer conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and messaging suit short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
