Dilek Bozan

Dilek Bozan is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain and the practical fallout of divorce and separation. She also supports those dealing with trauma, addiction, intimacy issues and challenges around parenting, work and self-esteem. Sessions are offered in English and Turkish and she works from a United Kingdom base.

Dilek sees counselling as a way to accept the whole self rather than chase perfection. She listens for the story behind problems and looks at how past experiences shape current reactions. Conversations focus on what matters now and what small changes could make day-to-day life easier.

Her approach mixes person-centred listening with therapies that work with emotions and patterns. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Mindfulness to help people notice thoughts without getting stuck. Emotionally-Focused ideas are used to slow down intense feelings and understand relationships better.

Dilek also brings trauma-focused methods when painful past events keep affecting someone today. Therapy sessions aim to map what has happened, identify triggers and develop practical steps for coping and recovery. Work on attachment, abandonment or codependency follows from what a person brings to the room.

With six years' experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, she frames the work as collaborative. Clients identify goals and try techniques together. The process is steady, practical and focused on real-life improvements.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions. It encourages choosing actions that match personal values, which can help with anxiety, low mood and coping after separation.

Client-Centred Therapy prioritises being heard and understood. The counsellor offers support and reflection so a person can explore what they need and reach their own solutions, useful for relationship, self-esteem and parenting concerns.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy works with intense feelings and relationship patterns. It helps slow down strong reactions and identify unmet needs in connections with others, which can be useful when working through attachment, commitment or intimacy issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. Decisions about which therapy to use are made together and can change as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the available biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, save travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote sessions help them keep continuity during life changes while still focusing on practical steps and emotional processing.
