About Dilek
Dilek Nakiboglu helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma, low self-esteem and mood problems. She also supports those facing addiction, grief, parenting strain, career uncertainty, ADHD and other life changes. Dilek works with concerns around intimacy, sleep and eating, and problems that come from family history or blended family dynamics.
She approaches counselling in a humanistic way that values the person in front of her. Therapy sessions aim to build awareness of patterns in relationships and behaviour.
Background and approach
Dilek focuses on what gets in the way of expressing yourself fully and on practical steps you can try between sessions. In an initial session she will take a brief personal history and ask about family, work, health and close relationships. That conversation helps set priorities and decide whether shorter focused work or deeper, longer-term therapy is best.
Ongoing sessions are usually at least once a week, but the rhythm is adjusted to the client’s needs. Dilek trained at the University of East London and holds an MSc in Psychology. She also completed vocational counselling qualifications including a BTEC Level 5 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and CPCAB certificates in counselling studies and skills.
She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her style is warm, non-judgemental and collaborative. Sessions aim to be a respectful space where people can try out new ways of relating and set practical steps towards change.
Dilek welcomes people who are ready to commit to the work and engage in the process. She offers sessions in English and is based in the United Kingdom, while also working with international clients via online formats.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Existential therapy helps people consider meaning, choices and identity when life feels confusing. It focuses on what matters most to you and how to live more authentically, which can help with emptiness, life changes and relationship questions.Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people recognise repeating dynamics and try new ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying in close connections.
Client-centred counselling gives space for you to be heard and accepted without judgement. The therapist follows your pace and priorities, helping you build awareness and trust in your own capacity for change.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with you about your needs, goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that could help. You can try different ideas and adjust the approach as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels important. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier on difficult days. Live chat or text-based messaging can work for short check-ins, quick reflections or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
