About Ceyda
Ceyda Soyudal is a counsellor who uses Narrative approaches alongside CBT, DBT and mindfulness to help people make sense of difficult times. She draws on 15 years of practical experience in the United Kingdom and speaks English and Turkish. Ceyda emphasises the person’s own story and strengths as starting points for change.
She talks with people about everyday struggles like stress, anxiety and low mood. She also helps with relationship strain, family problems, parenting challenges and life transitions.
Background and approach
Practical coping skills and clearer thinking are used alongside listening to the story behind the difficulty. Ceyda makes space for concerns that often sit alongside mental health symptoms, such as grief, trauma and intimacy-related issues. She also supports people dealing with neurodiversity topics like autism and attention differences, and with cultural or immigration-related stresses.
Sessions focus on small, doable steps as well as exploring deeper patterns that keep problems going. Her approach mixes short-term techniques and longer-term reflection. Cognitive behavioural ideas help change unhelpful thinking and behaviour.
Dialectical skills and mindfulness aim to reduce overwhelm and improve emotion regulation. Narrative work helps reframe personal meaning and create new possibilities. Ceyda holds BACP registration, which is recorded here as a professional credential.
People may find the collaborative tone reassuring, and she aims to offer practical tools alongside respectful listening to each person’s story.

Online session options
How narrative, CBT and DBT work online
Online therapy with Ceyda commonly draws on Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and helps them re-author those stories to create new possibilities. CBT looks at thinking and behaviour patterns and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful habits and reduce symptoms. DBT offers skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance and sharpening communication in heated moments.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different ways of working until a clear plan feels right. That might mean using short-term CBT techniques for immediate relief, then adding narrative work to understand longer-term patterns, or practising DBT skills for emotion regulation alongside mindfulness.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video calls let you see facial cues and hold richer conversations. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when being off-camera helps. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing support or when shorter, more frequent contacts fit a busy day. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
