About Gullu

Gullu Cicek is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She brings four years of experience in helping people deal with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, parenting strains and self-esteem concerns. She speaks English and Turkish and offers sessions through video, phone, live chat and text messaging.

She pays attention to how a person’s family history and cultural background shape current feelings and behaviour. Gullu asks about thoughts and coping strategies, including the ones people use without realising.

02

How Gullu works

This helps make sense of repeated patterns and where change might be possible. In sessions she aims to be kind and non-judgemental. People are invited to move at their own pace and to talk about what matters most to them.

The work is collaborative - she and the person agree on what to focus on and how to try new ways of responding. Gullu supports people through practical concerns such as communication problems, blended family issues, divorce and separation, domestic violence, fertility worries and ageing-related questions. She also helps with attachment issues, codependency, dependence and control struggles.

Appointments follow a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and costs vary with location and therapist availability. To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions according to therapist availability.

Online support options

How therapeutic approaches work online

Gullu uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding patterns and practical change. One approach looks at how family history and attachment shape feelings and relationships, helping people notice repeated patterns and try different responses. Another approach addresses coping with stress and anxiety by teaching straightforward skills for managing overwhelming thoughts and bodily tension, and helping people apply those skills in daily life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about needs, goals and preferences and then suggest ways of working together. That decision is collaborative and can be reviewed as therapy progresses to make sure it still feels helpful.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging so people can pick what fits their routine. Video calls suit fuller conversations and visual connection, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging offer brief check-ins or ongoing written reflections without needing to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and everyday life.

A practical next step

Write down two things you would want to be different in six months. That is the most useful thing to bring to a first session, whoever it is with. If you would rather start now than keep reading, online sessions are the quickest route.
