About Gullu

Gullu Cicek is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of practice. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting questions and self-esteem issues. Sessions are offered in English and Turkish and international clients are not currently accepted.

Gullu describes how personal history, family dynamics and cultural background shape how people relate to others. She pays attention to both conscious thoughts and less obvious patterns that influence behaviour. In sessions she listens for recurring patterns and how they link to current problems, then helps people talk through those connections.

The practical work often looks at communication difficulties, attachment and trust, and how family of origin issues affect present relationships. She also addresses fertility and aging concerns alongside common relationship challenges like separation and blended family tensions. Clients can expect direct conversation about patterns that keep causing stress.

Gullu draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to support clearer thinking and changed responses. She works at a steady pace and focuses on concrete steps people can try between sessions. Progress is measured in what feels different in daily life, such as fewer automatic reactions or clearer conversations.

To begin, the site asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary by location.

Therapeutic approaches and online working

Gullu uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on recognising patterns and changing responses. One common approach looks at attachment and how early relationships shape expectations in adult relationships; this helps when trust or communication keeps breaking down. Another approach emphasises practical strategies to manage anxiety and stress, teaching simple skills to reduce intense reactions and support clearer thinking.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Gullu will discuss options with each person and choose approaches based on the client's concerns, goals and what feels most useful. This is collaborative work where methods may be adjusted as progress is reviewed.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people join from different locations within the UK while keeping the practicalities of daily life in mind.
