About Seyma
Seyma Gungor brings an existential perspective to therapy, helping people make sense of life changes and find meaning in difficult moments. She combines that outlook with practical methods to address day-to-day problems like anxiety, low mood, stress and relationship strain. Seyma uses clear, down-to-earth language and aims to make sessions easy to follow for someone juggling work and family.
Seyma trained in mental health counselling and holds an MSc in Mental Health Counselling.
Background and approach
She is a member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP). Her background includes both individual and group work across a range of settings in the United Kingdom and previously in the United States. In sessions she draws on client-centred ideas to listen closely to what matters to each person.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try small behaviour changes. Attachment-based thinking helps when people are coping with relationship or abandonment issues. She also supports people facing grief, trauma and addiction concerns, and those juggling chronic physical illness or caregiver strain.
Work can include tackling compulsive behaviours, improving sleep, or managing strong emotions like anger and shame. Seyma has experience with co-occurring difficulties such as bipolar disorder and ADHD. Seyma offers therapy in English and Turkish and sees people in the United Kingdom as well as international clients.
Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and booking a session that fits the client’s schedule.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Existential Therapy helps people consider life choices, personal values and meaning when they face big changes or feel stuck. It focuses on questions about identity, purpose and how to live with uncertainty, which can help with grief, major life transitions and feelings of emptiness.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current connection patterns and emotional responses. It can be useful for people who struggle with trust, abandonment fears or repeated relationship problems, helping them notice patterns and try different ways of relating.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, then suggest methods to try together. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is seen or priorities change.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people speak face to face when schedules or distance make in-person meetings hard. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break or a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, ongoing support between sessions, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options help make regular therapy more achievable for busy lives.
