About Dilek
Dilek Bozan is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, addiction and codependency. She also supports those dealing with grief, trauma, depression and parenting concerns. She uses straightforward, compassionate conversation to help people understand what is driving their current struggles.
She believes counselling is not about perfection but about learning to accept the whole self. Sessions look at how past events shape present reactions and relationships. That includes exploring family of origin patterns, attachment wounds and issues around abandonment or control.
Dilek draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, emotionally focused work and client-centred listening. She mixes practical exercises with reflective dialogue so people can try new responses between sessions. Mindfulness and trauma-focused methods also inform her work where they are helpful.
With six years' experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), she aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space. Conversations are led by the client's priorities and pace. The emphasis is on small, attainable steps toward clearer boundaries and healthier patterns.
People often come to her to address intimacy issues, self-esteem, career stress, ADHD-related struggles, hoarding and compassion fatigue. She encourages curiosity about personal stories and supports people to rewrite those stories in ways that feel more manageable and meaningful.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and life transitions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathic listening and the client's own pace, helping people feel heard and more able to make changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotions in relationship patterns and can help with intimacy-related issues and attachment wounds.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss which methods seem most helpful based on your goals and preferences. Together you will try techniques and adjust the plan as you learn what feels most useful.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow continuity when life is disrupted. It can also make it simpler to use short check-ins, try mindfulness exercises between sessions and share resources by message where helpful. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and emotional work to suit remote meetings while keeping the focus on practical change and safety.
