About Dilek
Dilek Nakiboglu helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship problems. She also supports those facing trauma, addiction, grief, eating or sleeping difficulties, and challenges around intimacy or parenting. Dilek is a BACP counsellor with nine years of practice in the United Kingdom and she works with individuals who want to understand patterns in their lives and change them.
Dilek emphasises how our relationships shape the way we see the world. She talks about boundaries, how we express ourselves, and how defensive habits can push us away from our true feelings. In early sessions she looks at personal history - family, school, work and key life events - to build a picture of current strengths and struggles.
Her style is humanistic and client-centred. Dilek offers empathy and a non-judgemental space where people can explore identity and behaviour. She treats the therapeutic relationship as a collaboration and aims to help people remove obstacles that block personal growth.
Practical choices about therapy are part of the work. After an initial meeting to agree priorities, clients can choose shorter focused counselling of about six to 12 weeks or longer-term work to look deeper. Sessions are usually planned weekly, with frequency discussed and agreed together.
Dilekʼs qualifications include an MSc in Psychology from the University of East London and vocational counselling diplomas. She invites people who are ready to commit and engage in therapy to begin a process of learning and development.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling
Attachment-based therapy looks at patterns formed in relationships and how they shape current reactions. Online sessions can be used to notice those patterns, discuss early experiences and practise new ways of relating. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and the relationship itself; in remote sessions the counsellor offers empathic presence and reflection to help people feel understood. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour and then tries practical experiments and new routines to change them; this can work well in online work where homework and brief exercises are set between meetings.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and comfort. Plans are adjusted as understanding grows, so the approach can shift over time based on what proves most useful.
Confirm the available session formats before you book because the biography does not list them. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and enable quicker check-ins when life is hectic. It also allows work to continue for people who live abroad or who need to arrange appointments around work or family commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can use these options to support ongoing change without promising a specific outcome.
