About Bilkan
Bilkan Kilicer is a counsellor registered with the BACP with six years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and related concerns. Bilkan has a particular interest in trauma and supports people through difficult or painful experiences.
Bilkan describes her approach as integrative psychodynamic. She pays attention to what is happening now and how past experiences may still shape current patterns. Conversations focus on connection and curiosity rather than on labels or quick fixes.
Sessions are conversational and reflective. Bilkan listens, asks questions to clarify patterns, and offers observations that help people notice what keeps them stuck. She uses ideas from cognitive behavioural work and acceptance-based approaches alongside attachment-focused thinking when these fit the person’s needs.
People can expect a steady pace and practical attention to everyday problems alongside attention to deeper issues. Bilkan aims to balance exploring past influences with finding ways to manage symptoms in daily life. She suggests small, workable steps to try between sessions when helpful.
Her background includes training in a range of approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. Bilkan works in English and accepts international clients, and she asks prospective clients to follow the site process to see available online therapy options and book an initial meeting.
How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them and choosing actions that match personal values. It can help when anxiety or avoidance interferes with everyday life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and uses structured techniques to test and change unhelpful habits. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current ways of relating; it can be useful for relationship strain and intimacy-related issues.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Bilkan will discuss different methods and decide together which ones suit the person’s goals and preferences. That collaborative decision is revisited as therapy progresses so the plan can change if needed.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, childcare or travel. They also allow shorter check-ins or sessions without video if that helps someone cope with nerves. The emphasis is on practical access and matching session length and style to everyday life rather than on a single way of meeting.
