About me
I hold a first degree and a PhD in Mental Health Counselling, along with a postdoctoral speciality in Personality Psychology. I have undertaken extensive training in person-centred therapy, emotion-focused therapy, and existential therapy.
I’m registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), and I adhere to their professional code of ethics and undertake continual professional development.
Over the past two decades, I have assisted clients in my private practice, hospitals, and universities.
I’ve had senior lecturer and researcher roles across Europe. Currently, I’m an Adjunct Professor at the University of Bamberg.
Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy helps you to deeply explore your inner world, and figure out your tiggers, behaviour patterns, and what might be holding you back in life.
It’s also a space where you can learn how to build more meaningful and satisfying relationships with others.
Some areas I help with:
Stress, burnout, and anxiety
Depression
Interpersonal relationships
Grief
Existential issues
Loneliness
Chronic pain
Managing unexpected life events and transitions
Identity issues
Body image issues
Self-esteem
Emotion regulation problems
I see my clients either face-to-face in central London or online.
If you have any questions or want to explore whether we’re a good fit, email me at selda@seldakoydemir.com. I offer a free 15-minute introductory call.
Coaching for Professionals
Coaching is for those who would like to get better in their careers, get unstuck, maximise their performance, identify and tackle things that hold them back in life, and balance work and family life.
I’m especially experienced in working with high performers to help them get organised and balance their professional and daily lives, and working with leaders who want to gain emotional strength, handle burnout, and cope with uncertainty and stress.
For any questions about coaching, email me at selda@seldakoydemir.com. I offer a free 15-minute introductory call.
