About Dilek
Dilek Nakiboglu helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports clients facing addiction, grief, intimate problems, sleep or eating difficulties, parenting concerns, anger, career choices and life changes. Dilek works with people affected by ADHD, bipolar issues and a range of family and attachment problems.
Dilek uses a warm, human approach in sessions. She listens without judgement and treats people with respect.
How Dilek works
Her style aims to make it easier to talk about difficult feelings and to notice patterns that get in the way. In the first session she asks about personal history, family, work and important life events. That initial meeting helps decide whether short-term focused work or longer-term exploration will be most useful.
Regular weekly sessions are suggested but people can decide how to use their time together. Her training includes a Master of Science in Psychology from the University of East London and diplomas in therapeutic counselling. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP.
In practical terms Dilek helps people set boundaries, understand attachment patterns and develop clearer ways of relating to others. She supports personal growth by helping people notice what is helpful, try small changes and build on progress. Her aim is to accompany clients where they want to go in life.

Online support options
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can help people notice how they relate to others and practise different ways of connecting. Client-centred therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of the work, with the counsellor offering acceptance and reflection to help people find their own answers.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then tailor methods collaboratively. That gives room to try short-term focused work or deeper exploration depending on how things develop.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls suit conversational work and visual connection, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat can provide a shorter check-in and text messaging can support ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
