Alev Butun

Alev Butun is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety and depression, and supports those coping with trauma, relationship concerns and issues around self-esteem. Alev aims to offer a respectful and compassionate space for people to begin difficult conversations.

She frames therapy around each person’s needs and adjusts how sessions proceed to match what is most helpful. That means talking through what feels most pressing, and shaping the approach as trust grows. Her work includes support for grief, parenting concerns, addictions and challenges linked to identity, including LGBT issues.

Alev draws on client-centred principles in sessions, placing the person’s perspective at the heart of the work. She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people manage strong feelings and psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat in life and relationships. These approaches are blended to suit the goals you bring to therapy.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That credential is listed as part of her professional details and reflects her standing within the UK counselling context.

People who choose to work with Alev can expect a calm, patient presence and conversations focused on practical next steps. She encourages small experiments between sessions so clients can test new ways of coping and relating.

To begin, a simple initial process helps match needs and availability before scheduling sessions. That makes it straightforward to arrange a first appointment and see if her way of working feels right.
