About Ceyda

Ceyda Soyudal uses a blend of practical therapies to help people facing stress and life changes. She draws on 15 years of experience and a warm, direct style to help clients manage anxiety, low mood, parenting pressures and relationship strain. Ceyda holds BACP registration, which is shown after her name as BACP.

Ceyda believes people know their own story and that therapy helps them use their strengths. Sessions focus on small, clear steps that make daily life easier.

Background and approach

She works with common concerns such as grief, anger, eating difficulties and coping after trauma. Her approach mixes tools that change thinking and behaviour with ways to notice feelings more calmly. Cognitive and mindfulness techniques are combined with wider narrative and psychodynamic ideas.

This gives space for practical skills and for understanding patterns that keep causing pain. Parents who feel overwhelmed or unsure about their role will find a straightforward way to talk things through. Ceyda also helps people dealing with multicultural pressures, immigration issues and the stresses of young adulthood.

She offers help for mood conditions, attention difficulties and postpartum challenges within a conversational setting. Sessions are offered in English and Turkish and can be across different online formats. The emphasis is on realistic, achievable changes so people can try new ways of managing day-to-day demands and feel steadier over time.

Online support

Approaches that suit online therapy

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress, and lends itself well to homework between sessions. DBT, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, emphasises practical skills for handling strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can help with anger, relationship difficulties and emotional overwhelm. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce rumination and increase calm. These techniques are useful for stress, anxiety and coping with life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist discusses your goals and past experiences before suggesting methods. Together you can try different techniques and adapt the focus as needs evolve to find what feels most helpful.

Online sessions with Ceyda are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video suits deeper conversations and using visual exercises, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow frequent check-ins and written reflections between calls. These options make therapy more flexible for busy schedules, people in other countries, or those who prefer not to use video every time.
