About Bilkan
Bilkan Kilicer is a counsellor with six years of practice and a BACP registration. She introduces herself as an integrative psychodynamic counsellor and focuses on both present life challenges and how earlier experiences still shape feelings and behaviour.
She knows starting counselling can feel hard, especially after traumatic events. Bilkan aims to offer warmth, patience and steady listening so people do not feel rushed or judged. She encourages a pace that suits each person.
Bilkan helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck and explore practical steps forward. Conversations cover feelings, relationships and everyday struggles such as stress, anxiety, sleep problems and grief. Her approach combines exploring past influences with down-to-earth strategies for the present.
She uses a mix of approaches to suit individual needs, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based methods, alongside a client-centred stance. Sessions are conversational and reflective, with an emphasis on building understanding and choice.
People who want a listening ear, clear thinking about repeating patterns, and a supportive space to try new ways of coping may find this approach helpful. Bilkan works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.
Approaches that suit online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-based action. It is useful for anxiety, stress and difficulties with motivation or meaning. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and teaches practical skills to reduce distress. It can help with low mood, sleep problems and anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns and can be helpful for people who struggle with trust, closeness or repeating relationship difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Bilkan will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they will try methods that match those needs and adjust as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative and responsive.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, for example when travel time is limited or work breaks are short. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed or sessions without video if that suits someone better.
