Dilek Bozan helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction and trauma. She also supports people dealing with relationship and family issues, grief, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem concerns, career changes, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Dilek works in English and Turkish from the United Kingdom and draws on six years of counselling experience.

She holds BACP accreditation. Dilek sees counselling as a chance to understand the whole person, not to chase perfection.

Background and approach

She listens for the story behind the struggle and gently looks at how past events shape present reactions. Sessions aim to make sense of difficult feelings and to find more workable ways to live day to day. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth.

Conversations focus on what matters most to the client and on small, practical steps that fit real life. Dilek uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centred work, Emotionally-Focused techniques, Mindfulness and Trauma-Focused work to tailor support to each person.

In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful patterns - for example in attachment, codependency, control or avoidance - and practise different responses. She also addresses issues such as abandonment, guilt and shame, hoarding and problems rooted in family of origin. People can expect a calm, respectful space to talk through hard things and to try new ways of coping.

The aim is clearer choices, steadier emotion and more satisfying relationships, one conversation at a time.

Therapeutic approaches you can access online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while taking small steps toward the life they value. It can help with anxiety, stress, depression and life changes. Client-Centred Therapy centres on a non-judgemental, supportive relationship where the counsellor reflects and clarifies what matters most to the person; this approach helps people build self-understanding and confidence. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and works to change interaction cycles that cause pain; it is helpful for those struggling with attachment, intimacy and relationship distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dilek will discuss different methods with each person and decide together which fits their goals, needs and preferences. This collaborative planning helps sessions feel relevant and practical from the start.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when needed. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can suit shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day or to continue reflection between sessions. These options support people who need accessible, adaptable ways to get support.
