About Dilek
Dilek Nakiboglu is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and LGBT-related concerns. She also supports those dealing with grief, addictions, intimacy issues, sleep and eating problems, parenting strain, anger, career change, bipolar challenges and ADHD. Her approach aims to make everyday life feel more manageable and meaningful.
Dilek works from the belief that how we relate to others shapes how we see the world.
Background and approach
In early sessions she listens to your life story, family background and important relationships to spot the patterns that keep causing pain. She uses straightforward conversation to help you understand those patterns and where you might want to change them. Her style is humanistic and client-centred.
She offers empathy and a non-judgemental space. Sessions focus on what matters to you and on developing clearer boundaries and more honest ways of expressing yourself. She outlines practical options together with each person.
For some people this means planned short-term work of six to 12 weeks with specific goals. For others it becomes longer-term counselling to look more deeply at identity and life patterns. Session frequency is commonly once per week but can be discussed.
Dilek trained at the University of East London and holds an MSc in Psychology plus counselling diplomas. She has nine years of practice and sees people in the United Kingdom, offering sessions in English to national and international clients.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling
Attachment-Based Therapy helps people see how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional responses; it can be useful for people who struggle with trust, abandonment or repeating the same relationship patterns. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own pace and priorities, using empathic listening and acceptance to help someone explore identity and make changes they want in life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety, tackle unhelpful thinking and improve daily routines.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and agree a plan together. That collaborative process means the method can change as you learn more about what helps you most.
The original profile does not specify session formats, so please confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example it can reduce travel time, allow a shorter check-in during a lunch break, or remove the need to be on camera if that feels better. Many people find it simpler to maintain weekly appointments when sessions can be scheduled around work, study or caring responsibilities.
