Dilek Nakiboglu

Dilek Nakiboglu is a BACP counsellor who helps people manage anger alongside stress, anxiety, relationship strain and other life pressures. She explains patterns in how people relate to others and helps clients set clearer boundaries. Sessions focus on practical steps to feel more like yourself and to use your strengths in daily life.

Dilek works in a humanistic, person-centred way. She listens without judgement and aims to build an equal therapeutic relationship. Early sessions cover personal history, family, work and key life events so she can understand what matters most to you.

Therapy with her can be either short-term or longer-term. Short-term work is typically 6 to 12 weeks and focuses on specific goals. Longer work explores deeper patterns and identity issues over time. Most clients meet at least once per week while they are actively engaged.

She combines approaches such as attachment-focused ideas, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness to help people notice their habits and try new ways of responding. Practical exercises and reflection are used between sessions when helpful. Dilek supports people who want to change behaviour, reduce reactivity and improve relationships.

Dilek holds an MSc in Psychology from the University of East London and counselling diplomas from CPCAB and BTEC. She has worked in the field for nine years and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She welcomes people who are ready to commit and engage in therapy.

How Dilek's approaches work for online counselling

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice how they react in close relationships and learn safer ways to connect or set boundaries. Client-centred counselling focuses on listening and acceptance, creating space for people to find their own answers and build self-understanding. Cognitive behavioural techniques teach practical steps for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can reduce reactivity and improve coping.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. You can experiment and adjust the focus as therapy progresses so the work fits you rather than the other way round.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking because the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, for example by removing travel time or allowing a shorter check-in between commitments. It can also let people use techniques and homework in their normal routines, which often helps change stick. Registered or accredited professionals tailor sessions so they match what you want to achieve and how you prefer to work.
