About Alev

Alev Butun is a counsellor who practises in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation. She has eight years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and the knock-on effects of life changes. She aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity and compassion.

Sessions are shaped to each person's needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Alev encourages small steps and clear goals so progress feels manageable.

Background and approach

In sessions she draws on client-centred ways of working that put the person's experience at the heart of the conversation. Mindfulness practices are offered to help people manage overwhelming feelings and build focus in daily life. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how past patterns might be affecting current choices.

People come to her for a wide range of concerns. These include relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting strains, addictions, work stress and questions about life purpose. She also supports those dealing with codependency, guilt and shame, immigration-related stress and post-traumatic stress symptoms.

A typical meeting is conversational and curious. The counsellor listens, reflects, and helps people notice patterns that matter. From there she and the client agree practical steps to try between sessions.

To begin, a simple matching process helps pair a person with the right schedule and format for their needs. Alev works across video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different routines.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How her approaches work online

Alev uses client-centred work to place the person's concerns at the heart of each session. This means the conversation is guided by what matters to the individual, and the counsellor follows their pace and priorities. Client-centred work can help with stress, relationship worries and self-esteem struggles.

She also offers mindfulness techniques to help manage overwhelming feelings and improve concentration. Mindfulness practices can be short and practical, making them easy to use between sessions for anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will talk with the person about their needs, goals and preferences and then agree together which methods to try. This collaborative way lets the approach change as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video suits deeper conversational work, phone can be useful when less bandwidth is available, live chat provides a quicker check-in and messaging works well for short reflections between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and keep continuity when life is unpredictable.
