About Aysegul

Aysegul Ozen is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, low motivation and self-esteem, and life changes, and also works with compassion fatigue and related concerns such as grief, parenting and career pressure. Aysegul accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.

She draws on a varied background that includes more than 15 years in multinational corporate roles, a Bachelor of Science in Food Engineering and an MBA. That mix of workplace experience and study led her into volunteering with families and mentoring teenagers, and eventually into counselling work. Her practical past informs how she talks about coping, resilience and everyday pressures.

In sessions she treats each person as the expert on their own story and looks for strengths to build on. Conversations cover how guilt and shame show up, how self-esteem is affected, and what small changes help with motivation and mood. She aims for clear, down-to-earth discussion rather than complex jargon.

Aysegul uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address issues such as avoidant personality traits, feelings of emptiness, immigration stress and isolation. She supports people dealing with midlife questions, life purpose, multicultural concerns and women’s issues. Practical steps, pacing and reflection are part of how she works.

Outside of practice she enjoys yoga, cycling and nature walks. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session through the online booking flow.

How her therapeutic methods translate to online sessions

Aysegul uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in straightforward ways. One common approach she draws on is practical cognitive work that looks at unhelpful thoughts and tests them against daily evidence; this helps with anxiety, guilt and low self-esteem by making difficult thoughts easier to manage. Another is paced reflective conversation that focuses on feelings such as emptiness or shame and on small actions a person can try between sessions to notice change.

Finding the right method is a collaborative process. She will work with the client to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals and preferences, and adjust the approach as sessions progress so it remains useful and realistic.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery options. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by reducing travel time, making shorter check-ins possible, or allowing someone to join from a different location. Registered or accredited professionals including counsellors often use these practical benefits to help people maintain regular contact while they work on issues such as guilt, shame, stress and life changes.
