About Dilek
Dilek Bozan is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years of practice. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship and family problems, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues and parenting concerns. She also supports people facing codependency, attachment and abandonment issues, anger, self-esteem struggles, career questions and coping with life changes.
She begins by listening to a person's story and looking at how past events shape present reactions. Sessions focus on how patterns from early relationships and family of origin issues affect current choices. Conversations are direct and practical. The aim is to notice what keeps repeating and what a person wants to change.
Her approach draws on methods that help people notice thoughts and feelings, and then choose actions that fit their values. Mindfulness-based tools are used to build awareness of moment-to-moment experience. Emotion-focused work looks at feelings in relationships and how to respond differently when emotions run high.
Dilek also uses trauma-focused approaches when past hurt affects daily life. She pays attention to issues around control, dependency and commitment, and helps people explore healthier boundaries without blame. Work can include looking at parenting or fatherhood issues and the strain of caregiving.
Sessions are in English and Turkish. Practical steps and small experiments often form part of the work, so people leave with clear next steps they can try between sessions.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and pick actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and difficulty making changes. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening and support so people can explore their feelings and make their own decisions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on how emotions show up in relationships and helps people recognise patterns and respond differently.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dilek will discuss different methods with clients and together decide what feels most helpful for their goals. That choice is reviewed as work continues so the plan can be adjusted if needed.
Please confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and reduce travel time. They also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or video conversations when seeing faces helps. Registered or accredited professionals can use these options to help people build new habits, try boundary-setting experiments and practise emotional skills between sessions.
