Background and approach
Since relocating to the UK, she has provided therapy in individual and group settings. Seyma focuses on everyday problems as well as complex difficulties. These include depression, anxiety, trauma and addiction-related concerns.
She also helps with relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, career stress and sleep problems. Her approach draws on attachment-based work, client-centred practice and cognitive behavioural techniques. In sessions she encourages practical skills alongside space to reflect on feelings and patterns.
This combination aims to help people change unhelpful habits and cope better day to day. Therapy can include short-term or longer-term work, depending on the person's needs. Sessions are available through video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and feelings. It helps people understand why they react in certain ways and supports building more supported interactions. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's experience in the moment, offering non-judgemental listening and helping people find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) teaches practical tools to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour, which can be useful for anxiety and mood problems.Choosing an approach often happens together in the first sessions. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then adapt methods as progress unfolds. This means sessions can shift between talking, practical exercises and reflection depending on what helps most.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging gives flexibility for different circumstances. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins and text messaging can fit brief prompts or ongoing support. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family or travel while keeping therapy practical and focused.
