Gullu Cicek, BACP

Gullu Cicek is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has four years' experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, relationships, family matters, parenting and self‑esteem. She speaks English and Turkish and provides online sessions from the United Kingdom.

Her approach is grounded in listening and practical support. She pays attention to personal history, family patterns and cultural background to help people understand how these shape feelings and behaviour. Sessions focus on small, manageable steps rather than abstract theories.

People can expect a calm, non‑judgemental space where they are encouraged to speak at their own pace. The counsellor and client work together to identify recurring emotional patterns and test new ways of responding. Work may include looking at communication habits, boundaries and coping strategies.

Gullu also addresses issues that touch family life more widely, such as blended family tensions, fertility concerns and separation. She helps with practical relationship problems like communication, commitment and control issues. There is also experience dealing with attachment difficulties and questions around dependence and codependency.

Sessions are offered as video calls, phone conversations, live chat or text messaging depending on what suits the client. Fees vary with location and a subscription model is used that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Gullu uses evidence‑based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding personal history and improving day‑to‑day coping. One common approach helps people recognise attachment patterns and how these affect relationships; it supports clearer communication and healthier emotional responses. Another practical approach looks at behaviour and coping skills to reduce stress and anxiety by trying small, achievable changes in daily routines and reactions.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The counsellor will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs and preferences. This is a joint process where options are explained and adapted over time based on what is helpful.

Online therapy here offers flexibility and accessibility. Video calls allow face‑to‑face conversation while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera feels difficult. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check‑ins, shorter reflections between sessions or for those who prefer writing their thoughts. These formats make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and other commitments and to continue work consistently.
