Ceyda Soyudal, BACP

Ceyda Soyudal is a counsellor with 15 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She focuses on common problems such as stress, anxiety and low self-esteem, and also helps people dealing with depression, relationship strain and major life changes. Ceyda works in English and Turkish and accepts international clients. She approaches therapy as a collaborative process. She believes people know their own stories and brings methods that help them understand patterns and try out new ways of coping. Sessions aim to build practical skills for day-to-day life while also making space to talk about difficult feelings. Ceyda uses a blend of approaches tailored to each person. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and mindfulness techniques can help with anxiety, mood and emotional regulation. Narrative and psychodynamic ideas are also part of her work when understanding personal history and recurring patterns matters. People come to her for a wide range of concerns. These include grief, trauma and abuse, parenting strains, intimacy issues, eating and anger, as well as neurodiversity-related topics such as autism and ADHD. She also supports those facing immigration, multicultural or discrimination-related pressures. Her practical focus is on helping people notice what’s not working and testing small changes. That might mean trying a different communication style, learning coping skills for distressing moments, or working through past events that keep affecting the present.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Many of the approaches she uses adapt well to remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours, which is useful for anxiety, low mood and specific problems. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) emphasises emotion regulation and practical coping skills for managing intense feelings and improving day-to-day functioning. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and support emotional balance. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about goals, daily routines and what has or hasn’t helped before, then suggest steps to try. Clients and the therapist make decisions together, and the plan can change as progress unfolds. Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into busy schedules and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep regular appointments around work or family commitments, and sessions can focus on short skill-building tasks or deeper conversations depending on need.
