Ceyda Soyudal, BACP

Ceyda Soyudal is a United Kingdom based therapist with 15 years of professional experience and membership of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Over a decade and a half she has worked with people facing stress and anxiety, family conflicts, low motivation, struggles with self-esteem and confidence, and depression. She approaches each person with respect for their experience and the belief that they are the expert of their own story, drawing attention to the strengths that can support change.

Ceyda emphasizes that taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life requires courage, and she aims to offer steady support and practical encouragement throughout that process. Her work centers on empowering individuals to explore goals, build resilience, and move toward greater well-being at a pace that suits them. Prospective clients can expect a collaborative, strengths-focused approach designed to help them navigate challenges and pursue meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and working to replace them with more balanced ways of thinking and acting - it is commonly used for anxiety, low mood, and stress related difficulties. DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress in challenging moments. Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and gentle attention to thoughts and feelings, helping people reduce reactivity and build coping strategies for everyday stressors.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Ceyda collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy with a registered professional offers flexibility in how sessions take place - by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text based messaging - which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life or to connect when in different locations. These options support ongoing access to therapeutic help while allowing the therapist and client to choose the format that feels most comfortable and effective for their work together.
