About Dilek
Dilek Bozan helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression and trauma-related concerns. She supports those dealing with relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting pressures, career changes, and problems linked to self-esteem and anger. She also works with people managing ADHD, compassion fatigue and eating or hoarding difficulties.
Dilek uses a calm, straightforward style that aims to make talking about hard topics feel less overwhelming. Dilek sees counselling as a way to accept the whole self rather than chase perfection.
How Dilek works
She listens for the story behind present struggles and helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions look at how past events shape current reactions, and what practical steps might change day-to-day life. Her approach blends gentle encouragement with techniques that help people notice thoughts and feelings without being driven by them.
She draws on mindfulness and acceptance-based ideas to build tolerance for difficult emotions. At the same time she uses emotionally focused work to improve how people connect and communicate with others. Over six years of practice, Dilek has supported people with a wide range of concerns, including attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, commitment or control difficulties, and family of origin problems.
She holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are offered in English and Turkish and take place online using video, phone, live chat or text messaging. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.
The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions. It encourages choosing behaviour that matches values even when emotions are hard, which can help with anxiety, depression and life transitions.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on offering a non-judgemental, listening space where people can explore their feelings at their own pace. This approach supports self-understanding and builds confidence to make changes.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy, EFT, looks at emotions in relationships and helps people communicate needs more clearly. It can be useful for improving how people connect and resolve recurring conflicts.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they will try methods that match the person's needs and make adjustments as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when helpful, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat or text-based messaging is useful for brief check-ins, ongoing support or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, parenting and day-to-day life.
