Gullu Cicek

Gullu Cicek is a BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She brings four years of practice as a therapist and draws on a longer history of work with families, children and young people in other roles. Gullu aims to create a calm, welcoming space where people can bring what matters to them and be heard.

She pays attention to personal history and family patterns, and how culture and social background shape everyday life. Sessions look at both conscious thoughts and the less obvious habits and coping strategies that influence feelings and behaviour. Gullu uses gentle, curious exploration rather than pushing for fast change.

The focus might include stress, anxiety, relationships, family and parenting difficulties, or low self-esteem. She also works with issues such as ageing and geriatric concerns, attachment and family of origin problems, blended family adjustments, and relationship breakdowns like divorce and separation. Other areas noted include codependency, communication and control issues, fertility-related strains, and feelings of emptiness.

Gullu offers a non-judgemental, respectful approach that encourages clients to move at their own pace. Conversations aim to help people notice patterns, build on inner strengths and find more ease in their relationships with others and themselves.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Gullu uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding personal history and current patterns. One approach looks at attachment and family relationships to help people see how early bonds affect present-day reactions; this can be useful for relationship worries and persistent loneliness. Another strand addresses coping strategies and emotional habits, helping people recognise unhelpful routines and try different ways of responding to stress and anxiety.

Choosing the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, preferences and practical needs, and together they will decide what methods feel most helpful. This collaborative planning is revisited as work progresses so the approach stays aligned with what the person needs.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to maintain regular check-ins and to access support from different locations within the UK. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. The emphasis is on finding arrangements that fit daily life and support steady progress.
