About Dilek
Dilek Nakiboglu is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, sleep and relationship problems. She supports clients dealing with trauma, low self-esteem, depression, addictions and grief. She also works with concerns such as parenting challenges, intimacy issues, eating difficulties and career-related stress.
Dilek uses a humanistic style that centres the person rather than labels. Early sessions focus on building a respectful, equal working relationship. She offers a calm space to talk about family background, childhood, work and important life events so patterns start to become clearer.
Her approach invites people to identify what has helped them and what they want to change. Sessions look at how habits and defences developed and how they affect present choices. The aim is practical awareness rather than lectures or pressure to perform.
In the first meeting she and the client review areas to work on and put together a plan. Weekly sessions are suggested, though the length of work is flexible. Some people choose short-term focused work over 6-12 weeks, while others prefer longer exploration at a deeper level.
Dilek trained in psychology and counselling, including an MSc in Psychology from the University of East London and a BTEC Level 5 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. She has nine years of experience and welcomes people ready to commit and engage with therapy.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy helps people understand how early relationships shape current patterns. It looks at how connection and boundaries affect day-to-day stress and relationship problems. Client-Centred Therapy places the client at the heart of the work, offering empathetic listening and an equal therapeutic relationship to help people find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing small behavioural changes that can improve mood and sleep.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative planning can include trying different techniques to see what helps most.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so check the available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes ongoing work possible for people living outside the therapist's local area. Registered or accredited professionals aim to adapt these approaches so therapy is practical and usable in everyday routines.
