About Gullu
Gullu Cicek is a BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) counsellor who brings four years of online practice experience to people dealing with parenting and family concerns. She works with issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting pressures and low self-esteem. Sessions are offered in English and Turkish and are held online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.
She pays attention to how personal history and family background shape everyday reactions and relationships.
Background and approach
Gullu listens without judgement and helps clients notice patterns that might be getting in the way of better days. Conversations are paced to suit each person, with practical steps discussed alongside reflection. Her work also addresses broader family-related themes like blended family issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, and family of origin concerns.
She is open to talking about sensitive topics such as domestic violence, fertility challenges and attachment issues, and supports people who are experiencing emptiness, control struggles or codependency. Gullu explains the connections between long-standing coping habits and current difficulties. She encourages small, achievable changes that fit a person’s life.
The approach is collaborative - client and counsellor plan next steps together and review progress as they go. People curious about online counselling are guided through practical options for how to meet, what to expect, and how to begin. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Gullu uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding patterns in relationships and daily life. One common approach she draws on helps people identify and change unhelpful behaviours by noticing triggers and testing small, practical alternatives; this can be useful for stress, anxiety and parenting challenges. Another approach looks at attachment and family history to map how early relationships influence current reactions and communication, which can help when dealing with family problems or blended family dynamics.Choosing the right method is part of the work together. The counsellor and client explore goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then agree on a path to try. Progress is checked regularly and approaches are adapted if something is not helpful, keeping the process collaborative and focused on the client’s needs.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a camera feels uncomfortable, live chat suits quick check-ins or clients who prefer typing, and text-based messaging supports shorter updates between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counselling into busy family schedules and to continue support from different locations.
