About Dilek
Dilek Bozan is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, grief, addictions and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
She starts by listening to each person’s story and looks at how past events influence current reactions. Sessions focus on practical ways to notice feelings and patterns, and on small shifts people can try between meetings. Dilek uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centred methods to guide conversations about emotions and attachment.
Her approach keeps language simple and direct. People can expect to talk about what they are feeling, how that affects behaviour, and what they want to change. Mindfulness and trauma-focused ideas are brought in when they support clearer awareness and safer processing of difficult memories.
Dilek also addresses practical life stresses such as work, parenting strains, addiction-related difficulties and career uncertainty. She pays attention to patterns like abandonment, codependency, control issues and family of origin problems when these are relevant to someone’s current struggles.
Sessions are offered in English and Turkish. She explains steps and tools clearly, so people can use what they learn between sessions. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.
How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and clarifying emotions and attachment patterns. It can be useful for people who notice repeating relationship or emotional cycles and want to understand the feelings driving those cycles.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasises values and practical actions. It helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps that matter to them, which can be useful for stress, anxiety and coping with life changes.
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor follows the person’s lead, reflecting back what is important and helping people make sense of their own responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences and what feels helpful. Together they decide which combination of EFT, ACT or client-centred techniques to use and adjust that plan over time.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and having shorter check-ins when needed. Confirm the available session formats before booking as this profile does not list them. Registered professionals offering online sessions can make it easier to maintain continuity of support and to try different ways of working while balancing everyday life commitments.
