Aysegul Ozen, BACP

Aysegul Ozen is a BACP-registered therapist practicing in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, low motivation, low self-esteem, and significant life changes, and she has particular experience addressing compassion fatigue. Aysegul approaches each person with the belief that they are the expert of their own story and that their existing strengths can be mobilised to overcome current challenges. She emphasizes courage and practical steps toward a more fulfilling life while offering supportive and compassionate guidance.

Her mental health career builds on a varied professional background that includes more than 15 years in multinational corporate and international roles, alongside academic training that includes a Bachelor of Science in Food Engineering and a Master of Business Administration. A desire to help others led her to volunteer supporting families with young children and to mentor teenagers, drawing on corporate and personal experience to foster resilience and self-confidence in young people.

Outside of her therapeutic work, Aysegul enjoys yoga, cycling, and nature walks as ways to stay grounded. She is committed to accompanying clients through their thoughts, emotions, and life challenges with kindness and practical support. She holds BACP membership, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK.

Evidence-based approaches and accessible online support

Aysegul uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on strengths and collaboration. She offers person-centered, strengths-based work that helps clients explore their values, personal resources, and life goals while building a safe space for reflection - this approach is useful for challenges like low self-esteem, life transitions, and finding direction.

She also employs skills-focused, goal-oriented techniques that concentrate on practical tools for managing stress and anxiety, improving coping strategies, and enhancing day-to-day functioning. These methods can be particularly helpful for clients seeking concrete ways to reduce symptoms and build resilience.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Aysegul works together with each person to identify which techniques best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time so therapy remains relevant and effective.

Online work is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. Remote sessions make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy periods, to access support from different locations, and to choose the communication style that fits best for the individual.
