About Gullu

Gullu Cicek is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She lists stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges and self-esteem among the issues she addresses. Sessions can be conducted in English and Turkish. She does not accept international clients at this time.

She frames problems as emerging from personal history, family dynamics and cultural background. That means she pays attention to how family patterns and early attachments shape current behaviour and feelings. Conversations focus on understanding those patterns and how they influence day-to-day life.

In practical terms she encourages clients to notice the coping strategies they already use. Sessions involve reflecting on thoughts and behaviours and testing different ways of responding. The work is paced to each person and can include talking through relationship patterns, parenting stresses and feelings of emptiness or low self-worth.

Gullu also describes experience with a wide range of family-related and interpersonal issues, including blended family challenges, communication problems, codependency, separation and domestic violence. She notes awareness of fertility, ageing and some personality-related concerns when these affect relationships and wellbeing.

Her approach is collaborative and reflective. New clients are invited to consider how past experiences link to present difficulties and to try practical shifts in responding. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used before scheduling a first session via the platform's online options.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Evidence-based approaches are used to guide the work in simple, practical ways. One focus is on understanding attachment patterns - that means looking at early relationships and how they affect current trust, closeness and conflict. This can help when relationship or parenting issues feel stuck.

Another strand is working with thoughts and behaviours. That involves noticing unhelpful patterns, testing small changes and reflecting on results. This kind of approach can be useful for anxiety, low self-esteem and repetitive responses in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's needs, goals and preferences. Clients and the counsellor check in together about what helps and adjust the approach over time.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow quieter check-ins that do not need lengthy travel, and offer choices that suit different days - for example a shorter call when time is limited or a longer conversation when more reflection is needed. Registered and accredited professionals can tailor how sessions run to match practical needs without promising particular results.
