Dilek Nakiboglu

Dilek Nakiboglu helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those dealing with addictions, grief, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strains, anger, career questions, bipolar challenges, ADHD and coping with life changes. Dilek is listed with a focus on narcissism within her scope of work and welcomes conversations about attachment and family-of-origin problems.

Dilek works in a humanistic, person-focused way. She offers an empathic, non-judgemental space where people can talk about who they are and what they want to change. Sessions aim to build awareness of personal patterns and to explore boundaries and how relationships shape behaviour.

In an initial meeting she will take a short personal history and look at current supports, health and day-to-day stresses. That first conversation helps decide whether short-term, focused work or longer-term exploration is the better fit. She usually suggests weekly sessions while you are deciding the pace.

Dilek holds an MSc in Psychology from the University of East London and a BTEC Level 5 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred ways of working, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness. She aims to help people notice what has been useful in their lives, shift unhelpful patterns and move towards the person they want to be. If you want to explore difficult feelings or relationship patterns, she offers a steady, respectful place to do that.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape present-day patterns. It helps people understand why they may struggle with trust, boundaries or closeness and is useful for relationship and attachment concerns.

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of the work. The counsellor offers empathy and acceptance while you lead the conversation about what matters most. This approach suits people who want a supportive space to make sense of their feelings.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress because it combines talk with clear, achievable techniques.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dilek will work with you to agree what methods to try based on your needs, goals and preferences. That collaboration can include mixing ideas from different approaches as therapy progresses.

Confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are not specified on the profile. Online work can save travel time, make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also offers ways to continue therapy across distances for international clients, while still focusing on practical steps and relationship patterns.
