About Gullu
Gullu Cicek is a BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She brings a long history of working in services for families, children and young people and draws on that background when helping people with current concerns.
She believes personal history, family patterns and cultural background shape how people relate to themselves and others. Sessions focus on those influences along with the thoughts and coping habits a person has developed over time. The work is paced to each person, not rushed, and aims to make difficult feelings easier to understand.
In the room she offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk openly. Conversations are rooted in curiosity and respect rather than blame. That makes it easier to notice patterns that keep someone stuck and to try different ways of responding.
She supports people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting pressures and issues with self-esteem. Her wider focus includes ageing and geriatric issues, attachment and family of origin matters, fertility concerns and difficulties around separation and communication.
Gullu works in English and Turkish. Her practice follows the BACP ethical framework and she aims to work together with each person to identify small, practical changes that fit their life and goals.
How therapeutic approaches work online and in conversation
Gullu uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding relationships and personal history. One common strand looks at attachment and how early relationships shape current patterns; this helps when someone struggles with closeness or trust. Another strand addresses family of origin and communication issues by making connections between past experiences and present behaviour, which can help with repeated conflicts and hurt.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and choose or adapt methods together. The process is collaborative and aims to match techniques to the person's needs rather than imposing a single way of working.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time, so conversations can happen around other commitments. If you want to know which session formats she offers, please confirm the current options before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use online ways of meeting to maintain continuity of care while fitting sessions into everyday life.
