About Dilek
Dilek Nakiboglu helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, grief, and challenges like parenting, addiction, and ADHD. She is a BACP counsellor with nine years of practice in the United Kingdom. Her style is warm and human-centred, aiming to create a respectful space where people can speak openly and be heard.
Dilek focuses on how relationships and early patterns shape current behaviour. She guides clients to notice repeated patterns and to experiment with different ways of relating.
Background and approach
Conversations often look at personal history, family connections and the choices that feel blocked or uncomfortable. Initial sessions cover a brief personal history, family and work, and what the client would most like to change. After that, she and the client decide together whether to work in a shorter, goal-focused way or to continue for a longer period to address deeper issues.
Sessions are typically at least once a week. Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques, existential thinking and mindfulness. These are used to help people understand feelings, try new responses and develop practical strategies for everyday life.
Dilek trained in psychology and counselling, including an MSc in Psychology and diplomas in therapeutic counselling. She welcomes people from different backgrounds who want to commit to the therapeutic process and explore change.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and helps people notice patterns that affect intimacy and trust. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and acceptance so people can explore who they are and what they want to change. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) uses practical techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours that reduce anxiety and low mood.Deciding which approach to follow is usually a collaborative process. The therapist discusses goals and preferences, then together they try methods that fit the client’s needs. Plans can change as the work progresses and different techniques may be blended to suit each person.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual contact helps. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or suit people with limited bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or to use therapy without needing to be on camera. These options help people access counselling from different locations and schedules while keeping the focus on consistent progress.
