Bilkan Kilicer , BACP

Bilkan Kilicer is an integrative psychodynamic counsellor who helps people explore both present challenges and how earlier life experiences continue to shape their emotional world. She works collaboratively to illuminate patterns that may be keeping someone stuck, while supporting practical steps toward change and greater self-understanding.

Bilkan has a particular interest in working with people who have experienced trauma and she brings warmth, patience, and empathy to each session. Her approach aims to create a pace that feels manageable for the client, so difficult material can be addressed without becoming overwhelming. Therapy with Bilkan focuses on connection and curiosity - getting to know oneself more deeply, noticing recurring relational or emotional patterns, and finding new ways to respond to life’s challenges.

In sessions she offers reflective listening and thoughtful feedback, walking alongside clients as they consider what healing and change might look like for them. Bilkan is a member of the BACP, which is a professional association for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom, and she aims to provide a nonjudgmental space for people seeking understanding and support.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting trapped by them, and then take values-guided action toward a more meaningful life. It is often useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current patterns in close relationships and emotional regulation. It can help people working through relationship difficulties, abandonment or attachment issues, and the effects of past relational trauma.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship that supports self-exploration and personal growth. This approach is helpful for building self-esteem, processing grief, and navigating transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Bilkan will work collaboratively with each client to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will adapt techniques and pacing so therapy feels practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility, with options for video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, or other commitments and allow clients to access support from different locations while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
