Dilek Nakiboglu, BACP Therapist - Registered Member MBACP #269320

How we relate to others is key to understand about how we make sense of our world; setting up and maintaining our boundaries in our relationships can be difficult and getting feedback from others sometimes can make us feel uncomfortable.

We all have natural tendency in ourselves to move in a positive direction; recognising what has been helpful and what kind of behaviour or perspective we would like to change to become the person we wish to be.

The urge that we have, to express ourselves truly to others and to use our capacity in full may be deeply buried in each of us. But for defensive reasons we act in surface level, on a contrary direction to our feelings.

Therapy can help you to gain more awareness about yourself, your identity, and your patterns in life; encouraging you to remove the obstacles in front of you to achieve your potential through personal growth.

Learning and development may continue as long as we are open to constructive change and growth.

I am an experienced, qualified, BACP registered, humanistic counsellor and psychotherapist. I offer empathy, non-judgemental safe space, and genuine encounter to my clients. I believe in equal therapeutic relationship in counselling, respecting, and accepting you as who you are and to accompany you in your journey where you want to go in your life.

I welcome people from every walk of life who is willing to commit and can engage in therapy.

Initial session

The initial session will give us opportunity to address which areas you would like to work on. We will talk about your brief personal history, including your family, childhood, school years, work, significant relationships, and important life events. General assessment to understand your current network, health, and how happy you are with your housing and work.

The next step- short-term or long-term counselling?

Once we decide to work together, the following sessions will be ideally minimum of once per week. There is no commitment to continue certain number of sessions, you can choose how to use your space each week; you may choose to have a short-term counselling (6-12 weeks) where we can have more planned and focused sessions or long-term counselling where we can work more in a deeper level.
