About Dilek

Dilek Bozan provides counselling for a wide range of worries people bring to therapy. She helps with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family struggles, grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, parenting pressures, eating and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports people facing career change, compassion fatigue, ADHD and problems with self-esteem.

Dilek uses a person-centred approach that puts the client’s experience first. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting and helping people notice what matters most to them. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and emotionally focused ways of working when helpful, and uses mindfulness and trauma-focused methods to manage strong feelings.

Her work pays attention to how early relationships and family history shape current patterns. That might mean talking about attachment, abandonment, codependency or control issues. Conversations aim to make sense of unhelpful habits and open up different choices in relationships and daily life.

Dilek keeps things practical. She helps people develop small, doable steps they can try between sessions. These may include simple mindfulness practices, actions that match personal values, or ways to repair connection in important relationships.

She is registered with the BACP, has six years of experience, and offers support in English and Turkish. People who want to begin are asked to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a listening space where the person feels heard and understood. Online sessions using this approach still centre on the client’s experience, with the counsellor reflecting and helping people identify what matters to them. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and feelings and to take actions that match personal values; online work can support learning these practical steps and fitting them into daily life. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and change unhelpful patterns in close relationships by working directly with feelings and interaction patterns, which can be explored effectively in conversation over distance.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work together with each person to decide which methods fit best for their goals and situation. That may mean trying different techniques and adjusting the focus as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around family life, work breaks or travel. It also allows shorter check-ins or practising mindfulness between meetings, which can help new skills become part of everyday routines.
