About Seyma

Seyma Gungor is a psychotherapist who combines practical talking therapy with thoughtful listening. She draws on a range of human-centred and evidence-informed approaches to help people make sense of intense feelings and life changes. Seyma holds a BACP registration and has five years of clinical experience practising in the United Kingdom.

Her work often focuses on stress and anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and midlife transitions. She also supports people coping with trauma, addictions, grief and problems with sleep or self-esteem. Sessions are offered in English and Turkish and she accepts international clients.

In session she keeps things straightforward. Conversations look at what matters now and what steps might help move things forward. Techniques may include practical ways to manage unhelpful thoughts and emotional responses alongside approaches that pay attention to close relationships and attachment patterns.

Seyma trained at postgraduate level and previously practised in the United States before moving to London. Her background includes individual and group work, community activities and experience with co-occurring mental health and substance use issues.

She aims to tailor therapy to each person, mixing short-term focused work with longer-term exploration when that suits the situation. People who want to begin are invited to complete the site matching process and then arrange a session with her according to scheduling options.

How Seyma's approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how close relationships shape emotional responses. It helps people understand patterns that repeat in friendships and partnerships and how those patterns affect current worries. Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of sessions, offering empathic listening and space to reflect; it is useful for building self-understanding and confidence. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and gives practical steps to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and situation. That might mean starting with focused CBT techniques and adding attachment or client-centred elements as trust and clarity grow.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as shorter travel time and simpler scheduling. It may also allow people to join from another location when their routine makes in-person visits difficult. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm current session options before booking so you know how appointments will be arranged.
