About Bilkan
Bilkan Kilicer is a BACP-registered counsellor with six years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. Bilkan also lists support around grief, intimacy, sleep difficulties, parenting and career concerns, including work with people who identify as LGBT and those living with ADHD.
Bilkan describes an integrative psychodynamic approach that looks at what is happening now and how past experiences continue to shape feelings and behaviour. Sessions involve talking through current problems and noticing recurring patterns that sometimes repeat across relationships and situations. She aims to help people understand why they feel stuck and to explore small, practical steps that can change how they respond to stress and conflict.
Her work draws on a range of methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and elements of Attachment-Based and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, used where they fit the client's needs. This gives space for both reflective conversation and hands-on strategies for coping when life feels overwhelming.
People who come for support can expect a calm conversational style and steady pacing. Bilkan emphasises listening, gentle challenge and reflection during sessions. For anyone feeling uncertain about starting, she asks people to begin by describing what they want to change and what feels most difficult right now.
To begin, clients are invited to use the online matching flow and book a first session. The initial work is about understanding priorities and agreeing on practical steps to test between sessions.
How Bilkan’s approaches work for online counselling
Bilkan commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and identify personal values so they can act in ways that matter to them, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and when making life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and how early experiences affect current connections, helping when relationship problems, intimacy issues or grief are present.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Bilkan aims to discuss options with each person, agree on goals and try methods that suit their needs and preferences. That means sessions can shift between reflective conversation and short skills practice depending on what helps most at the time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also means people can use methods such as values-based exercises or emotion regulation skills between sessions, so therapy work can be practised in day-to-day life.
