About Seyma
Seyma Gungor is a psychotherapist and a registered member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP). She has five years of clinical experience and works in the United Kingdom. Her practice addresses stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem, coping with life changes, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues and sleep problems.
Seyma trained with an MSc in Mental Health Counselling and a BA in Psychology from Niagara University, New York. She has practised in the UK since moving from the US and has provided therapy in individual and group settings as well as community services. Her background includes work with adults, children and young people in several care settings.
In sessions she draws on cognitive behavioural ideas and person-centred principles to help clients identify unhelpful patterns and try different ways of coping. She also uses emotion-focused ideas and attachment-informed thinking for relationship and connection issues. Seyma’s work can include practical exercises, reflective conversation and mindfulness practices.
People in new or blended households may find the focus on communication, attachment patterns and coping strategies useful. She lists blended family issues among her additional areas of focus and can support individuals sorting through loyalty conflicts, changing routines and co-parenting stresses.
Seyma offers work in English and Turkish and accepts international clients. Her registration with BACP is stated as her professional credential. To begin she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
Approaches used in online sessions
Attachment-informed work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication. Online sessions can use this approach to address loyalty conflicts, trust and bonding issues in blended households.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviours. It is helpful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and practical coping strategies that can be practised between sessions.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and regulate feelings in close relationships. In an online setting it can support people who want to change how they respond to a partner or a co-parent.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, then agree a way of working together. This is a collaborative process and the plan can be adjusted as needs change.
Practical benefits of working online include fitting sessions into a busy routine and avoiding travel time. The biography specifies online counselling and telephone counselling alongside face-to-face work, so confirm which formats are available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, to use video for face-to-face conversation, or to choose audio-only calls when that suits day-to-day life.
