Alev Butun , BACP

Alev Butun is a BACP-accredited therapist based in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, motivation and confidence challenges, low self-esteem, and depression. She places respect, sensitivity, and compassion at the center of her practice and adapts conversations and treatment plans to reflect each client’s unique needs and circumstances.

Recognising that the first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage, she offers steady support and practical guidance throughout the therapeutic process. Alev holds membership with BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is a professional organisation for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. Her approach emphasizes listening, collaboration, and tailoring care so clients can move toward clearer goals and improved coping.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Alev draws on client-centered therapy to create a nonjudgmental space where the client’s perspective guides sessions. This approach focuses on listening, empathy, and collaboration, and it can be helpful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and life transitions.

She also incorporates mindfulness therapy to help clients develop present-moment awareness and practical strategies for managing stress and anxiety. Mindfulness techniques can support emotional regulation and reduce reactivity in everyday situations.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Alev works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts pace and techniques as therapy progresses so clients feel involved in shaping their care.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter conversations can happen via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to access support from home or work, while still working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor care to each client.
