About Gullu

Gullu Cicek is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of experience working in therapeutic roles. She speaks English and Turkish. Her main areas include stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting and self-esteem.

Gullu asks about family history, cultural background and the coping methods someone has developed. She uses that information to help a person understand how they relate to others. Sessions aim to make patterns of thought and behaviour clearer so practical steps can follow.

She has a background working with families, children and young people in different settings. That earlier work informs how she thinks about family dynamics and parenting strains within blended households.

Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. Conversations are paced to the person's comfort, with attention to both current stresses and past influences. The focus is on clear, practical discussion rather than technical language.

People come for help with communication, loyalty conflicts, co-parenting tensions and adjusting to new household roles. Gullu also addresses related issues such as separation, domestic violence impacts, attachment concerns and codependency.

If someone wants to start, they are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session using the See online therapy options button. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches she draws on and online working

Gullu draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that look at how past relationships shape current reactions. This kind of approach helps when attachment patterns or family-of-origin issues make intimacy or trust difficult. It names repeated patterns and links them to present-day choices.

She also uses practical, problem-focused methods that help with stress, anxiety and communication. These approaches break big problems into small steps and teach ways to manage upsetting thoughts and difficult conversations in daily life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor discusses goals and preferences, then adjusts methods as the work continues. The person and the counsellor decide together what feels most useful.

Confirm current session options before booking, because the original biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and keep regular contact between appointments. It can also allow for shorter check-ins or audio-only meetings if that suits someone better. Registered or accredited professionals can help arrange a pattern of sessions that fits daily routines and practical needs.
