Aysegul Ozen , BACP

Aysegul Ozen is a counsellor who uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, low motivation and self-esteem. She works with those facing life changes and people dealing with compassion fatigue. Aysegul approaches sessions with kindness and a focus on a client's existing strengths.

She draws on three years of direct counselling experience in the United Kingdom and a long career in multinational corporate roles. That earlier work, plus a Bachelor of Science in Food Engineering and a Master of Business Administration, shaped the practical way she looks at problems. She emphasises realistic steps rather than abstract theories.

Aysegul has volunteered supporting families with young children and mentored teenage students, experiences she uses when clients talk about parenting, career choices or building resilience. She aims to help people find more confidence and clearer direction in daily life.

Her practice also covers grief, relationship and family concerns, and issues such as avoidance, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame. She lists multicultural concerns, immigration issues and young adult matters among her focus areas, and she specifically supports women's issues.

Outside work she keeps active with yoga, cycling and nature walks. Aysegul frames therapy as a shared process and invites people to explore changes at a pace that suits them. To begin, she encourages a short conversation to see if her approach fits a client's needs.

How Aysegul uses practical approaches online

Aysegul works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, do-able steps. One approach helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try alternative thoughts and behaviours to reduce anxiety and lift mood. Another approach focuses on building coping skills and routines to manage stress, increase motivation and improve day-to-day functioning. These methods suit people facing life changes, career pressure, parenting strain or compassion fatigue.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Aysegul will listen to a person's goals and concerns and suggest methods that fit their situation. She adapts the plan over time so it stays useful and practical for the individual's needs.

Online therapy offers flexibility and makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual connection matters. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick updates, brief reflections between sessions or people who prefer not to speak by voice. These options help people access therapy from different places and at times that work for them.
