Aysegul Ozen , BACP

Aysegul Ozen is a licensed professional practicing in the United Kingdom with three years of clinical experience, focusing on challenges such as stress, anxiety, low motivation and self-esteem, life transitions, and compassion fatigue. She works from a strengths-based perspective, believing that each person is the expert of their own story and that existing resources and resilience can be drawn on to navigate difficult moments. Aysegul offers empathetic support aimed at helping people take the courageous first steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Her route into mental health grew out of a diverse professional background that includes more than 15 years in multinational corporations and international roles, combined with a Bachelor of Science in Food Engineering and a Master of Business Administration. Those corporate and international experiences inform her work with clients facing career pressures, role changes, and cultural transitions. Aysegul also trained and practiced in therapeutic settings and holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her professional training and commitment to recognized standards.

Driven by a desire to support others, she has volunteered to help families with young children adjust to change and has mentored teenagers to build resilience and self-confidence. Outside of her therapeutic work, Aysegul enjoys yoga, cycling, and nature walks as ways to stay grounded. She pursued her long-held goal of becoming a therapist to better understand, navigate, and embrace her own journey, and she seeks to accompany others with compassion and kindness as they work through their thoughts, challenges, and feelings.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support

Aysegul uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that aim to be practical and results-focused. One common approach she employs involves cognitive-oriented methods that help people identify and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns, which can reduce stress and improve confidence. A second emphasis is on skills-focused coping strategies that teach concrete tools for managing anxiety, building self-esteem, and navigating life transitions. These approaches are presented in accessible, step-by-step ways to address day-to-day challenges.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Aysegul works with clients to explore which methods fit their goals, needs, and personal preferences, adjusting course as progress unfolds to ensure the best possible fit between therapist and client.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for people with busy lives or geographical constraints. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, clients can access consistent support without the need to travel, schedule around commutes, or disrupt daily routines. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions and to integrate therapeutic work into everyday life while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor care to individual circumstances.
