About Seyma

Seyma Gungor is a psychotherapist registered with the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP). She has five years' experience and works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, low self-esteem and coping with life changes.

Seyma trained in mental health counselling and holds an MSc in Mental Health Counselling and a BA in Psychology. She has practised in London after moving from the United States and has provided individual and group support in a range of settings.

Her day-to-day work includes helping people with depression, anxiety, trauma and addiction issues. She also supports those dealing with grief, intimacy-related problems, sleep difficulties and career stress. Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment concerns, body image and blended family challenges.

Seyma uses approaches that draw on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centred methods. She also works with cognitive behavioural techniques and existential ideas when these fit a person’s needs.

Sessions may be offered in English and Turkish. She is registered with the BACP and accepts international clients. Practical arrangements use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time; clients complete a short matching questionnaire before booking a first session.

People considering contact are advised to check the current session options before scheduling, and to use the platform’s matching flow to choose an initial appointment.

How Seyma uses EFT, attachment and client-centred work online

Seyma lists Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) as one of her approaches; EFT focuses on naming and working with strong emotional experiences and attachment patterns to improve how people relate to themselves and others. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationship responses and helps people recognise and change those patterns. Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of sessions, emphasising listening and reflection to help people find their own direction.

Picking the right approach is part of the work. Seyma will discuss different methods and choose what fits the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That decision is made collaboratively and can change as therapy progresses.

The biography indicates she offers online counselling and telephone counselling, so confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Online and phone sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises from EFT, attachment work and CBT for remote sessions so clients can practise skills between meetings.
