Dilek Nakiboglu, BACP

Dilek Nakiboglu is a BACP counsellor and psychotherapist with nine years' experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma, self-esteem concerns and related issues including social anxiety and phobia. Dilek focuses on helping people notice patterns in how they relate to others and how those patterns affect day-to-day life.

She encourages clear thinking about boundaries and personal choices. In early sessions she asks about family, childhood, work and significant life events to build a shared picture of what matters. That information guides whether work is best short term and focused or longer and deeper.

Dilek draws on humanistic, attachment and client-centred ideas to create conversations where people can speak honestly. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness practices to address unhelpful thoughts and reduce anxiety in practical ways. Sessions tend to include reflection, practical steps and skills to try between meetings.

Her practice looks at how attachment and past relationships shape current responses. She helps people recognise defensive patterns that keep them at a surface level and supports them in expressing themselves more fully. That work often connects to issues such as abandonment, codependency and family of origin problems.

Dilek’s training includes an MSc in Psychology from the University of East London and counselling diplomas and certificates. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She accepts clients from different backgrounds and works in English.
