About Dilek
Dilek Bozan is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions and relationship concerns. She also helps with grief, parenting strain, intimacy-related issues and feelings of guilt and shame.
She believes counselling is not about being perfect. She frames therapy as a way to accept the whole self. Sessions look at the story a person brings and how past events shape present reactions.
Her approach pays attention to how family of origin, attachment and loss can affect daily life. She talks through how control issues, abandonment fears, codependency and commitment worries play out in relationships. Practical topics such as career strain, hoarding and parenting pressures are addressed alongside emotions like emptiness and anger.
Dilek uses methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness and Trauma-Focused Therapy. Those approaches guide conversations and exercises aimed at noticing patterns, learning new ways to manage feelings, and making deliberate choices.
Sessions are offered in English and Turkish. People looking to start are asked to complete a short questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The structure and pace are decided collaboratively with each person.
How therapeutic approaches are used online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It helps people make values-based choices even when hard emotions like guilt or shame are present.Client-Centred Therapy centres on the person’s experience and uses reflective conversation to clarify feelings. This approach can help someone feel heard and begin to untangle painful self-judgement.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns in close relationships and the emotions that keep those patterns going. It can be useful when guilt and shame affect intimacy and connection.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss a person’s goals, history and preferences and try different methods to see what fits. That means approaches can be adjusted as therapy progresses to match the person’s needs.
If you want to use online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking. Many people find online options help them fit appointments around work and family commitments, reduce travel time and make regular check-ins easier to keep. Some formats also work better for a short phone check-in or a longer video conversation depending on what is needed.
