Dilek Bozan, BACP

Dilek Bozan is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship worries. She also supports clients facing trauma, grief, addiction and struggles with self‑esteem. Dilek works with issues such as parenting strain, career change, ADHD and problems connected to family of origin and attachment.

She believes counselling is not about perfection but about accepting the whole self. Sessions look at the story a person carries and how past events shape current behaviour and feelings. That history is linked to patterns in thoughts, everyday habits and relationships so new choices become possible.

Dilek uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client‑centred work, emotionally focused ideas, mindfulness and trauma‑focused methods. These approaches are used to help people notice patterns, feel what matters and try different ways of responding.

Her way of working is collaborative and straightforward. Conversations focus on practical steps and on small changes that fit into daily life. Over time people often find they can rethink painful stories and try new ways of coping.

Dilek is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and works from the United Kingdom. She offers sessions in English and Turkish and can discuss how therapy might fit with everyday responsibilities.

Approaches applied to online therapy

Dilek uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and learn to act in ways that match their values. ACT is useful for anxiety, stress and for getting unstuck from unhelpful habits.

She also works from a client‑centred stance, offering a listening space where the person's own goals guide the work. That approach is helpful for building self‑understanding and confidence. Elements of emotionally focused work are used to look at feelings and attachment patterns that affect relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dilek will talk with each person about what feels most useful and will adapt methods to match individual needs, goals and preferences. The work is collaborative and usually involves practical steps to try between sessions.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact session formats before booking as formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑ins when needed. It can also help people choose options that suit quieter surroundings, lower bandwidth or times that fit around work and family commitments.
