About Dilek

Dilek Nakiboglu offers support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self‑esteem, grief and issues linked to trauma and abuse. She also helps with codependency, addiction-related struggles, mood difficulties and life changes. She presents a calm and respectful manner and encourages people to explore what they truly want from their relationships and life.

Dilek works in a humanistic, client-centred way that focuses on listening and understanding each person. Early sessions look at personal history, family background and current routines so a clear picture of concerns can emerge. From there she and the client decide whether to aim for shorter focused work or a longer, deeper process.

Her approach combines attachment-based ideas with cognitive behavioural tools and mindfulness practices. That mix is used to identify unhelpful patterns, try new ways of thinking, and practise small behavioural changes between sessions. Practical steps are paired with reflective conversation about identity and values.

Dilek holds an MSc in Psychology from the University of East London and completed the BTEC Level 5 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. She is BACP registered, which is shown as BACP. She has worked in counselling and psychotherapy roles for nine years and draws on that experience in sessions.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to each person. Dilek welcomes people who are ready to engage and commit to the process, and she helps them set clear goals and decide how therapy fits into their life.

How her approaches translate to online work

Dilek draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. That approach helps when people want to understand repeating dynamics and improve the way they connect with others.

She also uses client-centred methods that focus on listening, respect and the person’s own priorities. Cognitive behavioural techniques are added to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioural experiments between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Dilek will discuss options and work together with each person to choose what fits their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape whether sessions focus on short-term problem solving or deeper emotional work.

Session logistics and formats are not listed in the original profile, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to attend from different locations and fit meetings around work or family commitments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a lighter touch is needed, or full sessions when more space is helpful.
