About Dilek
Dilek Nakiboglu is a BACP-registered counsellor and psychotherapist with nine years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people who want to understand how their relationships, boundaries and past shape their day-to-day reactions. Common concerns she addresses include stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship problems and anger.
Her style draws on humanistic and attachment-based ideas. She pays attention to how early connections and current relationships influence behaviour. Sessions involve talking through personal history, relationships and key life events to build clearer self-understanding.
Dilek also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She blends this with client-centred listening so people can name what matters to them and decide which changes to try. Mindfulness approaches appear in sessions when useful to reduce reactivity and manage strong feelings.
The first meeting is an initial assessment. It covers family background, work, health and social supports. Together they agree whether short-term focused counselling or longer work is the next step.
People meet Dilek for weekly sessions when possible. She describes short-term work as six to twelve weeks for focused goals, or longer counselling for deeper issues. She welcomes people who can commit to regular sessions and engage in the process.
Her training includes an MSc in Psychology and diplomas in therapeutic counselling and counselling studies. Dilek invites clients to explore boundaries, patterns and the practical steps that reduce repeated conflict and build clearer ways of relating.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns made in earlier relationships and how those patterns affect current connections. Online sessions can uncover repeating interaction styles and help people try new ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping clients find their own answers. In an online session this means the counsellor offers reflective listening so the client can clarify values and decide what changes to try.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dilek discusses goals and preferences with each person and helps choose a mix of methods that suit the issue and the client. The plan is collaborative and can shift as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people choose remote sessions because they fit around work, reduce travel time and make it easier to keep weekly appointments. Others find shorter check-ins help on busy days, or that not being on camera reduces fatigue. Talk with Dilek about what suits your schedule and how to make sessions a practical part of everyday life.
