About Dilek
Dilek Nakiboglu helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship worries, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, addiction and grief. She also supports concerns around intimacy, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strains, anger, career setbacks, ADHD and life changes. Dilek works with people exploring identity and attachment problems, and those coping with adoption, abandonment or family-of-origin issues.
Dilek is a BACP counsellor with nine years of experience. She trained with an MSc in Psychology and holds vocational counselling diplomas.
Background and approach
Her style is humanistic and person-centred. She aims to offer empathy and a non-judgemental space where a client can speak honestly. In early sessions she asks about personal history, family, work and important life events.
That helps identify patterns and practical goals. Clients and she then decide whether short-term focused work or longer-term sessions suit the issue. Sessions typically meet at least once a week.
Dilek encourages people to notice what helps them move forward and to practice changes between meetings. She uses straightforward tools to manage difficult thoughts and feelings, and to strengthen boundaries in relationships. Her approach blends attachment-based thinking with cognitive and mindfulness techniques.
She pays attention to how relationships shape self-view and helps people try new ways of relating. Dilek emphasises collaboration, and she supports each person to choose the pace and focus of therapy. People who prefer talking through their history and also working on concrete skills will find this combination useful.
Dilek welcomes clients from diverse backgrounds and offers sessions in English to people in the United Kingdom and internationally.

How Dilek’s approaches work online
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can help people notice repeating themes in relationships and try new ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and practical problems such as sleep or routine changes.Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Dilek will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together decide which approach or mix of approaches to use. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or want ongoing, brief support between sessions. These options help fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping focus on the therapeutic work.
