Gullu Cicek
Practical counselling for stress and family matters
About Gullu
Gullu Cicek is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She brings four years of experience working directly with people around stress, anxiety, relationships, family matters, parenting and self‑esteem. She speaks English and Turkish and offers sessions using several online formats.
Gullu believes a person's history, family background and cultural context shape how they get through hard times. She pays attention to what you do to cope, the habits that help and the ones that hold you back.
Background and approach
Sessions are paced to match what feels manageable for each person. In conversation she aims for a warm, non‑judgemental tone. She invites people to describe their worries and everyday patterns, then gently reflects these back so new options can be seen.
Work tends to focus on practical steps you can try between sessions as well as talking things through in the room. Gullu also supports people with issues linked to ageing, attachment and family of origin concerns. Other areas she addresses include communication and commitment problems, separation and blended family issues, codependency and fertility‑related distress.
She is open to exploring the emotional effects of domestic violence and antisocial personality dynamics where relevant. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Gullu uses a short matching questionnaire to begin the process and helps plan the next steps once a person has booked a session.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Gullu draws on evidence‑based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding relationships and everyday patterns. One approach she uses helps people spot repeated relationship or family patterns, then try small changes to communication and behaviour that can reduce conflict and increase connection. This method is useful for concerns such as family problems, blended family adjustment and communication difficulties.Another common strand focuses on coping with stress and anxiety through practical strategies. That work usually combines talking through current worries with simple exercises to manage anxious moments, build confidence and strengthen routines that support emotional well‑being.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, background and what feels comfortable, then recommend ways of working together. If something does not fit, they will adjust the approach to find a better match.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is helpful when visual cues and a fuller conversation are useful. Phone sessions can be easier when lower bandwidth or a shorter check‑in is needed. Live chat and text allow for flexible, written exchanges across the week. These options make it simpler to arrange counselling around work, family and other commitments.
