Aysegul Ozen

Aysegul Ozen is a counsellor with three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low motivation, self-esteem struggles and big life changes. She approaches each person with kindness and aims to support them as they take the first steps toward change.

Her work draws on a varied background that includes more than 15 years in multinational corporate roles, a Bachelor of Science in Food Engineering and a Master of Business Administration. Those roles gave her experience with workplace pressures, international moves and adapting to change, which she now brings into counselling.

Aysegul began volunteering with families and mentoring teenagers to build resilience and confidence. Those experiences shaped how she listens and responds, and they inform her practical, down-to-earth style. She talks things through with people rather than using heavy jargon.

She also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue, grief, parenting challenges, career questions and relationship or family stress. Additional areas she addresses include feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, immigration issues, isolation and loneliness, and finding life purpose.

Outside work she keeps grounded through yoga, cycling and nature walks. She frames therapy as a partnership and aims to empower people to make changes that matter to them. To begin, she encourages people to take a small step and reach out when they feel ready.

Practical therapeutic approaches for life changes and loneliness

Aysegul uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people make sense of stress and low mood and to rebuild motivation. One approach focuses on practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, helping people manage anxiety and boost confidence through small, repeatable steps. Another approach emphasises building awareness of emotions and responses, teaching ways to tolerate difficult feelings and to respond differently in everyday situations.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Aysegul works collaboratively to figure out what helps most based on a person's goals and preferences. She will try methods together with the person and adjust them as progress is seen or priorities change.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, save travel time and allow a shorter check-in when needed. It can also make it simpler to work with someone who accepts international clients. Ask about the practical options when you complete the matching questionnaire so sessions can match your routine and needs.
