Dilek Bozan , BACP

Dilek Bozan views counselling as a journey toward accepting the whole self rather than chasing perfection. She believes each person carries a unique life story that offers important insight into present-day struggles, needs and relationships. By gently exploring how past experiences shape current reactions and the impact of significant events, she helps people make sense of patterns that cause pain or confusion.

Through this collaborative process Dilek supports clients in opening up new possibilities and, when appropriate, re-writing parts of their story to reflect their values and goals. She is a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her commitment to recognised professional standards and ongoing development.

Approaches that guide online work and emotional change

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take action guided by personal values. It is often useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgemental relationship where the person leads the pace and focus of sessions. This approach supports self-exploration and can help with issues such as low self-esteem, grief and relationship concerns.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to emotional patterns in close relationships and aims to shift interactions toward greater understanding and connection. It can be helpful for people working through attachment, intimacy or relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dilek works collaboratively with people to identify which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, and adjusts the work as therapy progresses.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers practical flexibility - sessions can happen by video call, over the phone, via live chat or through text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, access support from home, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable.
