Gullu Cicek, BACP

Gullu Cicek is a BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She brings four years of practice to her current work and draws on a long history of earlier roles supporting families, children and young people in different settings. Gullu aims to create a calm, welcoming space where people can talk honestly about what is worrying them.

She pays attention to personal history, family dynamics and cultural background. Gullu also looks at patterns of thinking and the coping habits people develop over time. This helps make sense of how someone relates to others and to themselves.

Sessions are gentle and paced to each person. She listens without judgement and invites reflection rather than giving quick fixes. The focus can include stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting and self-esteem, as well as issues such as family conflict, separation and communication problems.

Gullu also works with concerns linked to ageing and fertility, attachment and dependency, codependency, control or commitment difficulties, and the emotional impact of domestic violence and family of origin issues. Her way of working is collaborative: she helps people notice patterns and try different ways of responding.

People who pick Gullu often want steady support to better understand feelings and change unhelpful routines. She offers practical, talk-based help aimed at improving day-to-day coping and relationships. If you are looking for a thoughtful, culturally aware counsellor, she may be a good match.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Gullu uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversations in a focused, practical way. One common method she draws on helps people notice repeating emotional patterns and the thoughts that keep them going; it supports work on anxiety, self-esteem and relationship habits. Another approach centres on exploring family history and attachment patterns to better understand how past relationships affect current struggles with trust and communication.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Gullu will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences, and she will adapt methods as the therapy progresses. The process is collaborative and aims to find what actually helps in daily life rather than fitting people into a single model.

The original biography does not list the specific online session formats she uses, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer to speak from a familiar location or who need a session that fits around work, childcare or other commitments.
