About Bilkan
Counsellor Bilkan Kilicer is a BACP member with six years' experience offering counselling in the United Kingdom. She sees people who are coping with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self‑esteem, depression and a range of other concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and Bilkan accepts international clients.
Bilkan works in an integrative psychodynamic way, which means she pays attention to both current problems and past experiences that may shape them. In a session she listens, reflects and helps people notice patterns that keep causing pain. Her approach is conversational and steady rather than directive.
She draws on evidence-informed methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy alongside attachment‑based and client‑centred ideas. That mix allows her to offer practical steps for coping, and also time to look at the emotional material beneath behaviours.
Typical work includes talking through relationship issues, grief, parenting stress, anger and life changes. Bilkan also has experience with neurodiversity concerns such as ADHD and with long‑term health challenges like chronic pain and illness.
People who choose her often want to understand why they repeat certain patterns and to try different ways of responding. Initial sessions aim to clarify immediate concerns and to agree the best direction of work. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and book their first session.
Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, invites people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting tied to them. It focuses on values and small, practical steps someone can take even when feelings are difficult. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood and managing stressful situations. Attachment‑based work looks at patterns that began in early relationships and how they show up now. It helps people understand why they react in certain ways in relationships and to try different responses that feel safer and more connected. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Bilkan will discuss what feels most useful during initial sessions and try different methods in collaboration with the client. She aims to match the approach to the client’s needs, goals and preferences rather than sticking to one method. The profile does not specify which online formats she offers, so please confirm the available session types before you book. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for a shorter check‑in if needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to use video, as options sometimes include phone or messaging when provided by the service. Registered or accredited professionals commonly use a range of methods; clarify the exact formats for Bilkan when you schedule the first appointment.Areas of expertise
