About Dilek
Dilek Bozan believes counselling is a place to accept the whole self, not chase perfection. She offers a calm space for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting pressures, addiction or relationship pain. Her approach is warm and down-to-earth, aimed at helping clients make small, steady changes that ease daily life.
She listens for the story behind current struggles and helps people see how past events still affect their reactions now.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer choices rather than labels. Clients can expect straightforward conversation, reflective exercises and gentle challenge when it helps. Dilek uses methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas inform how she explores connections and hurts in relationships. Trauma-focused techniques are used when painful events need careful attention. She holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Dilek has six years of clinical experience and works in the United Kingdom. She offers sessions in English and Turkish for people who prefer either language. Practical concerns such as parenting strain, career change, anger and self-esteem are often brought to sessions.
People also come for help with attachment issues, codependency, and the emotional aftermath of separation or abandonment. Her work aims to make day-to-day coping feel more manageable.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and move towards what matters most. It uses practical exercises to build acceptance and committed action for issues like anxiety, parenting stress and low mood. Client-Centred Therapy centres the person in the room, offering non-judgemental listening so people can explore feelings at their own pace; this approach suits anyone wanting a supportive space to talk through life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dilek will discuss options and tailor methods to a person’s goals, needs and preferences in a collaborative way. That might mean combining ACT with mindfulness practices, or focusing on emotional connection when relationships are the main concern.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat suits quick check-ins and messaging can support ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats give flexibility so people can choose what fits their routine and comfort.
