About Bilkan

Bilkan Kilicer is a counsellor who blends attention to present-day problems with an eye on how past experiences shape current patterns. She offers a calm, patient manner and aims to make the first step into counselling less overwhelming for people who are anxious about reaching out. Bilkan brings six years of experience and is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom.

She often supports people who have experienced trauma and those facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression or grief. She also helps with relationship and intimacy issues, parenting pressures, sleep problems, career questions and managing life changes. Her practice includes work around ADHD, compassion fatigue and a wide range of attachment and relationship difficulties.

Sessions focus on building connection and curiosity so clients can understand repeating patterns. Bilkan listens without judgement and reflects back observations to help people see new options. Conversations are paced to what each person can manage rather than rushing through painful material.

Her approach draws on several methods to suit different needs, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas. These are used in straightforward ways to help with coping strategies, clearer thinking and stronger relationships.

People who choose Bilkan can expect practical conversation and thoughtful reflection that aims to make daily life easier. To begin, readers should use the site's Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire to book according to availability.

Approaches that guide online conversations

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking small, values-led steps that make daily life more meaningful.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking patterns and build coping skills for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Attachment-Based ideas pay attention to how early relationships shape current ways of relating. This can help when intimacy, communication or trust are ongoing difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Bilkan treats that as a collaboration - she will help clients decide which methods fit their goals and preferences and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.

If you are considering online therapy, check the available session options before booking as the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a busy day. It can also let people use quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera if that helps them engage more comfortably.
