Seyma Gungor, BACP

Seyma Gungor is a psychotherapist who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She works in English and Turkish and brings five years of clinical experience to her practice in the United Kingdom. Seyma is a BACP member, which reflects her professional registration with the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists.

Seyma uses practical, talk-based work to help people make sense of difficult feelings. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and client-centred approaches to identify unhelpful thoughts and build coping skills. She also uses attachment-focused ideas and emotionally-focused tools when relationships and intimacy are central concerns.

Clients come to Seyma for help with stress, grief, trauma and addictions as well as parenting strain, career pressure and problems with sleep. She also supports people dealing with anger, bipolar mood difficulties, ADHD and complex health or chronic pain issues. Her practice covers communication problems, boundary and commitment concerns, and blended family challenges.

Her background includes a Master of Science in Mental Health Counselling and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Niagara University, New York. She has worked in community settings, group programmes and one-to-one therapy since moving to London.

Seyma prefers to tailor methods to each person. Early sessions focus on what someone needs now and what practical steps might help. She asks about goals, routines and relationships to shape a clear plan that feels achievable.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current trust and closeness. Online sessions can help people talk through relationship patterns and learn new ways to connect. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions to build practical coping skills for anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties. In online appointments clients can practise techniques and bring real-life examples to the session.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. That collaborative process guides whether attachment ideas, CBT tools or emotion-focused work form the main plan.

Confirm the exact session options before booking so arrangements match needs. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work, family or medical commitments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, reduce travel time and let people join from different locations, including international settings. Registered or accredited professionals can suggest which format will suit practical concerns and the goals discussed in early sessions.
