About Alev
Alev Butun is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with eight years of experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem. She works with concerns such as depression, coping with life changes, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered in English and targeted at adults seeking help with these areas.
Alev frames her work around approaches that centre the client and explore underlying patterns. She uses client-centred techniques to listen and reflect what matters most to each person. She draws on mindfulness practices to help people manage overwhelming feelings and build breathing and grounding skills. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences influence present behaviours.
In sessions she focuses on practical conversation and steady exploration. People can expect to talk through current stresses, identify unhelpful patterns, and try manageable ways of responding differently. She helps with specific problems such as codependency, communication difficulties, control issues, and guilt or shame.
Her background includes work with immigration-related stress, domestic violence, post-traumatic stress, and issues that commonly affect young adults and women. She also supports people dealing with family problems, grief, career dilemmas, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session through the service. Costs vary by location and sessions operate on a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches work in online sessions
Alev uses Client-Centred Therapy to focus on what matters most to the person in front of her. That approach means listening closely, reflecting what the client says, and helping them decide the topics to work on. It is useful for processing relationship worries, low self-esteem and everyday stress.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to introduce simple practices that reduce reactivity. These exercises aim to improve attention to the present moment and offer practical ways to manage anxiety, overwhelm and recurring negative thoughts.
Psychodynamic ideas are part of her practice too, exploring how earlier experiences shape current patterns. This can help with repeated relational problems, codependency, and longstanding feelings such as emptiness or guilt.
Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. She will work with the client to identify needs, agree goals and try methods that suit their preferences. Adjustments are made as therapy proceeds rather than fixed at the start.
Session formats are not specified in her biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals like her aim to match sessions to each person’s daily routines and practical constraints.
