Background and approach
Her background includes individual therapy and group work in community settings, where she supported people living with co-morbid conditions and chronic health issues. Her clinical approach mixes Trauma-Focused methods with attachment-based and client-centred ways of working. In sessions she helps people notice patterns in relationships, understand difficult emotions and practise new coping skills.
She uses practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy alongside emotion-focused exercises and mindfulness techniques. Seyma also addresses family and relationship concerns by helping individuals improve communication and manage blended family or parenting stresses. She supports people facing career changes, compassion fatigue, sleep problems and intimacy-related worries.
She pays attention to how past losses and attachment wounds can affect current life. People who choose her can expect collaborative sessions that focus on goals they set together. The work can include short-term problem-solving or longer-term exploration depending on what someone needs.
Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexible ways to connect.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
This therapist combines Trauma-Focused Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred work to help people address difficult experiences and relationship patterns. Trauma-Focused Therapy aims to gently process distressing memories and reduce their impact on daily life using structured, paced techniques. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and helps people build more supported ways of relating. Client-Centred therapy places the person’s goals and experience at the centre and encourages self-directed change through empathic listening and reflection.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Seyma will talk with a person about their needs, goals and preferences and then suggest ways to proceed. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses to match what is most helpful.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual connection, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during short breaks, while live chat or text-based messaging suits shorter check-ins or when writing helps to organise thoughts. These formats make it possible to continue steady work on anxiety, trauma, relationships and other concerns without rearranging a whole day.
