About Dilek

Dilek Nakiboglu works on relationship patterns, boundaries and personal development using a humanistic, client-centred approach. She is BACP registered and has nine years of experience in counselling and psychotherapy.

Dilek helps people understand how they relate to others and how that shapes their day-to-day choices. She listens to what has been helpful before and what people want to change. She pays attention to repeated patterns that show up in relationships and in how people express themselves.

In an initial session she asks about personal history, family, school, work and significant life events. She also checks basic practical factors such as social supports, health and how content someone is with housing and work. This gives a starting point for deciding whether short-term or longer-term work is most useful.

When ongoing sessions begin, weekly meetings are recommended where possible. Some people opt for a short focused block of 6 to 12 weeks. Others choose longer-term counselling to work more deeply on patterns and identity.

Dilek trained in psychology and counselling, including an MSc in Psychology from the University of East London, a BTEC Level 5 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and CPCAB certificates. She works in English and is able to work with international clients. Her practice focuses on helping people increase self-awareness and remove obstacles to personal growth.

How her therapeutic approaches are used in online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps with difficulties in intimacy, trust and long-standing relationship patterns. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person in the room and on building an equal therapeutic relationship; it supports people exploring identity, self-worth and personal choices. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical changes in behaviour to reduce day-to-day distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful. This is a collaborative process and may change as sessions progress.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around work, study and family life, and it can reduce travel time. Some people prefer shorter check-ins by phone if they need a brief update, while others choose longer video meetings to talk in more depth. Registered or accredited professionals generally aim to match the practical setup to each persons circumstances and goals.
