Dilek Bozan, BACP

Dilek Bozan is a counsellor who helps people working through jealousy and related relationship concerns. She supports people struggling with anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, grief and issues around intimacy. She also works with those facing addictions, parenting strain, career changes and difficulties with self-esteem. Her approach starts with listening to each person’s story. She believes counselling is about accepting the whole self rather than chasing perfection. In sessions she looks at how past events shape current reactions and relationships. Dilek draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centred work and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. She also uses Mindfulness and Trauma-Focused ways of working to help people notice thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them. Sessions are practical and conversational. Dilek helps people notice patterns, try new responses and practise skills between meetings. The focus is on small, manageable steps that fit into everyday life. With six years of experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), she offers a calm, steady presence. She speaks English and Turkish and works with people in the United Kingdom who want to make changes in how they relate to themselves and others.

How therapy approaches translate to online counselling

Dilek uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values. ACT is useful for anxiety, depression and relationship tensions because it focuses on living well despite difficult feelings. She also works with Client-Centred Therapy, which means sessions are driven by the person rather than the therapist. This approach helps people feel heard and develop their own solutions for problems such as low self-esteem or relationship strain. Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches and techniques fit their goals and preferences. This choice is reviewed over time as needs change. If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer to work from a familiar spot or who need sessions outside normal office hours. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt ACT and client-centred methods to work well in remote sessions, focusing on practical exercises, mindful practices and talking through difficult moments.
