Dilek Bozan , BACP

Dilek Bozan believes counselling is about learning to accept the whole self rather than chasing perfection. She offers a calm, patient approach that helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship strain, or parenting pressures. She also supports those dealing with addiction, anger, low self-esteem, career shifts, and intimacy or attachment concerns.

Her style is conversational and client-led. Sessions focus on understanding a person’s story and how past events shape present reactions. She uses everyday language and practical steps to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding.

Therapy can include mindfulness exercises and acceptance-based strategies to reduce struggle with difficult thoughts and feelings. Emotion-focused work may be used to make sense of relationship distress and strong emotions. Trauma-focused techniques are available when past hurt continues to affect daily life.

Dilek is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and she has six years’ experience working with a wide range of concerns. She offers sessions in English and Turkish, and works with people across the United Kingdom.

People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling sessions. Therapy sessions are arranged to fit around each person’s life and needs.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to notice thoughts and feelings without fighting them and to act in ways that match their values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and problems like addiction by shifting focus from control to living a meaningful life.

Client-Centred Therapy centres on a respectful, non-judgemental relationship where the person leads the pace and topic. This approach helps people feel heard and build self-understanding, which is useful for issues such as self-esteem, relationship patterns and family of origin concerns.

Finding the right method is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which approaches suit a person’s needs and goals. Sessions may combine elements from different models so the plan fits what matters to the individual.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing facial cues matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer shorter, written exchanges or who need to fit support into a busy day. Registered or accredited professionals provide these formats so people can choose what works best for them.
