Dilek Nakiboglu , BACP

Dilek Nakiboglu is a BACP-registered counsellor and psychotherapist working in the United Kingdom who combines humanistic and evidenced approaches to support clients through relationship, emotional, and life challenges. She works with people experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and attachment issues, self-esteem struggles, addictions, grief, parenting and family concerns, and a wide range of other difficulties. Her practice emphasizes understanding how patterns of relating and early experiences shape present-day feelings and behavior, and she helps clients explore boundaries, communication, and the choices that move them toward greater wellbeing.

Dilek believes that people have a natural tendency toward positive change and that therapy can uncover buried impulses to express the self more fully. She offers empathy, non-judgemental presence, and an equal therapeutic relationship that respects each client as they are while accompanying them toward their goals. Initial sessions cover a brief personal history including family, childhood, education, work and important relationships, together with an assessment of current supports, health, housing and work satisfaction to identify priorities for therapy.

Clients decide whether to pursue short-term focused work or longer-term deeper exploration, with sessions generally recommended at least once per week. Dilek holds an MSc in Psychology from the University of East London, a BTEC Level 5 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, and CPCAB Level 3 and Level 2 qualifications in counselling studies and skills. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), which recognises professional training and ethical practice. Dilek welcomes clients from diverse backgrounds who are ready to engage in therapy and has availability for international clients.
