About Dilek
Dilek Nakiboglu helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, addiction, grief and intimacy-related issues. She also supports concerns such as eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, career uncertainty, bipolar mood issues, ADHD and coping with life changes.
Dilek welcomes people exploring identity and belonging, including LGBT matters, and those dealing with family of origin or blended family problems. Dilek works in a warm, human-centred way.
Background and approach
She offers an empathic, non-judgemental space where people can speak honestly. Sessions focus on understanding personal patterns, relationships and the barriers that hold someone back from using their capacity fully. She encourages practical steps toward change alongside gentle self-reflection.
An initial session covers the areas a person wants to work on and a brief personal history. That conversation looks at family, childhood, school, work and significant life events to build a clear picture of current support, health and living situation. After that, clients can choose shorter focused counselling or longer-term work depending on their goals.
Dilek trained in psychology and counselling. She holds an MSc in Psychology from the University of East London and vocational counselling qualifications including a BTEC Level 5 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and CPCAB certificates. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Sessions are arranged at a minimum of once per week when people choose to continue. Dilek encourages openness to change and works collaboratively to set the pace. She welcomes people from every walk of life who are ready to engage in therapy.
