About Seyma

Seyma Gungor brings a person-centred, attachment-informed approach to therapy. She combines cognitive behavioural ideas with emotionally focused work to help people manage anger, stress and relationship difficulties. Seyma uses straightforward conversation and practical strategies to help clients handle life changes and strong emotions.

She holds an MSc in Mental Health Counselling and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Niagara University, New York. Seyma is a BACP member, which she lists as her professional credential. She has practised in London after moving from the United States and has five years of clinical experience.

In sessions she aims to build a trusting relationship and to understand how past experiences shape present reactions. Seyma draws on attachment-based and client-centred ideas to explore patterns in relationships and emotional responses. She also incorporates cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.

Seyma has worked with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, grief, sleep problems, parenting and anger. She also notes additional focus areas such as attachment and abandonment issues, chronic illness, and communication problems.

Her practice blends longer-term work with shorter interventions depending on need. Seyma offers therapy in English and Turkish and accepts international clients. To begin, clients use the site’s Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Attachment-Based Therapy helps people see how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. It can be useful for understanding attachment problems, abandonment concerns and patterns in close relationships.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding without judgement. It gives space for people to talk through their worries and build a stronger sense of self during stress, grief or life changes.

The best approach is worked out together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt methods such as cognitive behavioural techniques or emotionally focused work as needed. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, avoid travel time and maintain continuity when circumstances change. Because the biography does not list specific session formats for this profile on the site, please confirm the available formats before booking. Registered or accredited professionals offer online options that aim to make attending therapy more manageable alongside work, family and daily routines.
