Background and approach

Sessions are conversational and focused on understanding personal history, relationships and the patterns that shape current reactions. She invites practical reflection so clients can try new ways of relating and coping between sessions. In an initial meeting she explores a person’s background, family, schooling, work and significant life events.

That helps identify whether short-term focused work or longer-term exploration will be more useful. People can choose weekly sessions and decide how long they wish to continue. Dilek trained in psychology and counselling.

She holds an MSc in Psychology from the University of East London, a BTEC Level 5 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and CPCAB certificates in counselling studies and skills. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her style is empathic and non-judgemental.

She encourages clients to recognise strengths and try manageable changes. Dilek welcomes people who are ready to commit to therapy and work collaboratively on the issues that matter to them.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape reactions today. It helps people who struggle with trust, boundaries or repeating relationship patterns by looking at connection styles and how to make different choices.

Client-Centred Therapy offers a warm, non-judgemental space where the person’s own goals guide the work. It is useful for building self-understanding, improving self-esteem and finding clarity about life direction.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful cycles. It can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and coping skills for everyday stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and together they will decide whether to use one method or combine elements from different approaches. This makes the work more relevant to each person’s needs.

Online therapy offers flexibility and easier access to regular appointments. Video calls allow a face-to-face feeling while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or hands-free time is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection or people who prefer typing. These options help fit therapy into work, travel or busy family life while keeping the focus on progress and practical steps.
