About Dilek
Dilek Nakiboglu is a BACP counsellor and psychotherapist with nine years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting pressures, grief, and identity concerns. Her practice also covers trauma and abuse, addictions, self-esteem, depression, and intimacy-related issues.
Dilek uses a humanistic, client-centred style that treats the person rather than a set of symptoms. Sessions begin by looking at_recent history - family, work, relationships and important life events - so she can understand patterns that repeat. Practical conversation aims to identify small changes that make daily life more manageable.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. Cognitive behaviour ideas are used where useful to notice thinking patterns and try different responses. Mindfulness and existential perspectives are woven in to help people consider values and what matters to them now.
She describes initial work as a chance to agree whether short-term focused counselling or longer-term work is more helpful. Weekly sessions are offered as a typical rhythm, and clients choose how to use the time each week. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
Dilek trained at the University of East London and holds an MSc in Psychology, a BTEC Level 5 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, and CPCAB certificates at Levels 2 and 3. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Sessions are conducted in English. People who live outside the UK may enquire about working together, and the therapist will discuss practical arrangements at the initial match stage.
How sessions work
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Dilek combines attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural techniques in her work. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns influence current reactions and helps people notice recurring ways of relating. Client-centred practice focuses on open listening and helping clients find their own answers through thoughtful conversation. Cognitive behavioural techniques help identify unhelpful thinking and test alternative responses to reduce anxiety or change behaviours.Choosing the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will discuss your concerns, goals and preferences and recommend which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as the work progresses.
Session practicalities should be confirmed before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. If you live outside the UK the therapist accepts international clients and will explain how to arrange sessions during the matching step.
