About Gullu
Gullu Cicek is a BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) registered counsellor with several years of client work in the United Kingdom. She presents herself as a compassionate listener who makes space for whatever a person brings to a session. She invites clients to move at their own pace and emphasises practical steps towards feeling understood and more able to manage everyday challenges.
Gullu draws attention to how family history, culture and personal coping habits shape current struggles. She talks through patterns that can make relationships and self-esteem feel difficult. Common areas she addresses include stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting worries and feelings of emptiness.
Her approach is collaborative and reflective. Clients can expect gentle enquiry about past experiences and current reactions, with attention to small changes that improve day-to-day wellbeing. Gullu aims to help people notice repeating patterns and make choices that feel more in line with their values.
She also works with matters linked to family background and life stages, such as blended family issues, fertility concerns and ageing and geriatric matters. Codependency and attachment difficulties are named among her additional focus areas.
Sessions are offered in English and Turkish and take place in the United Kingdom. Gullu asks prospective clients to use the site’s Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to her availability.
Therapeutic approaches and how online work can help
Gullu uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding patterns and improving everyday functioning. One approach she uses looks at attachment and relational patterns to help people see how early relationships shape current reactions; this can be useful for codependency and difficulties with closeness. Another approach emphasises practical skills and reflection to manage anxiety and stress, such as noticing triggers and trying different coping steps in daily life.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose the methods that fit their goals, needs and preferences rather than applying one fixed model. That process includes checking what helps and adjusting as therapy progresses.
If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the exact session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow check-ins between in-person appointments where needed. Different formats can also suit different practical needs - for example, a phone call can be a shorter, lower-bandwidth check-in, while video makes face-to-face conversation possible. Confirm available formats when you arrange sessions so they match your routine and goals.
