About Seyma
Seyma Gungor offers a counselling style that centres on attachment, emotional experience and practical thinking. She blends Attachment-Based approaches with Client-Centred care and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people make sense of their feelings. Seyma uses plain language and focused steps so conversations feel manageable.
She speaks English and Turkish and sees people in the United Kingdom and internationally. Seyma trained at Niagara University in New York and holds a B.A. in Psychology.
Background and approach
She also completed an MSc in Mental Health Counselling and is a BACP member, which means she follows professional standards set by that body. She has five years of practice experience across individual and group settings. Her work includes helping people who are dealing with anxiety, depression and grief.
She also supports those facing relationship strain, parenting pressures, addiction concerns and major life changes. Seyma pays attention to attachment, abandonment and communication problems when these are part of a person's story. Sessions typically use a combination of talking and practical exercises.
She may introduce CBT-style tasks to change patterns of thinking and behaviour. At other times she focuses on emotions and relationships to deepen understanding and repair connections. People with complex and overlapping issues such as chronic illness, co-morbidity or trauma-related problems are within her areas of focus.
Seyma aims to match the pace and goals of each person she sees. She explains options in everyday terms and helps people choose a clear way forward.

Sessions & fees
Approach-led online therapy that fits your life
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current connections and emotions; it can help when abandonment, attachment issues or repeated relationship patterns cause distress. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the centre and uses a warm, non-judgemental attitude to encourage self-understanding and autonomy. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours together and offers practical tasks to reduce anxiety, improve mood and change unhelpful patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful. That means plans can change as progress is made and different techniques can be tried to see what helps most.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls suit deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice-only check-in is preferred. Live chat and messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, processing between sessions or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and everyday life.
