About Gullu
Gullu Cicek is a BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of private practice experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain and self-esteem. Sessions are offered in English and Turkish and international clients are not accepted.
Gullu draws on a long history of work with families, children and young people in other settings. She pays attention to how family background, culture and social context shape everyday reactions and relationship patterns. She aims to help people see how past experiences affect present behaviour.
In sessions she invites practical reflection on thoughts, feelings and coping habits. Conversations look at patterns in family relationships and parenting stresses. She uses accessible techniques to help people name recurring responses and try different ways of responding.
Work is collaborative and paced to the individual. Gullu listens for themes such as attachment, communication problems, blended family issues or the impact of separation. She also addresses concerns linked to fertility, ageing or codependency when they arise.
People often come to talk about feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure how to manage family conflict. Gullu helps break those problems into manageable steps and supports practical changes that fit everyday life.

How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Gullu draws on well known, evidence-based techniques that focus on relationships and practical coping. One approach looks at attachment patterns - how early relationships shape expectations and responses. That work helps when recurring relationship issues or family repeat patterns are the concern. Another approach focuses on communication and behaviour - identifying unhelpful interaction cycles and practising clearer ways to respond. This is helpful for family disagreements and parenting challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She discusses options with the client and works together to pick methods that match current goals, cultural background and everyday life. The choice may shift as sessions progress and new priorities emerge.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping therapy consistent when schedules are tight. Because session formats are not specified in the original biography, confirm available session options before booking. Many people find online meetings make it easier to attend regular check-ins, manage shorter problem-focused sessions, or arrange appointments around school and work commitments.
