About Bilkan
Bilkan Kilicer is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, grief and parenting concerns. She also addresses issues such as sleeping problems, intimacy-related concerns, anger, career stress, bipolar, ADHD and coping with life changes.
Bilkan uses an integrative psychodynamic approach to look at what is happening now and how past experiences continue to affect everyday life. She mixes that with practical, evidence-informed methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Sessions are conversational and focused on noticing patterns that keep people stuck while building skills to manage difficult moments.
Her way of working is straightforward. She listens, reflects, and helps people identify where their reactions come from. Over time she helps clients experiment with different ways of responding to stressful situations and strained relationships at home.
Many people come to Bilkan with parenting strain, family tensions or grief after loss. She supports adults who want clearer boundaries, steadier mood regulation, and better communication in their everyday lives. Her approach includes attachment-based ideas to understand relationship patterns.
She offers work in English and accepts international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange a first session using the site booking steps. Costs vary by location and sessions run on a cancellable subscription.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches for online sessions
Bilkan combines evidence-informed techniques with psychodynamic thinking to help adults manage life pressures and relationship strain. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying what matters to you and taking small, values-led actions while learning to sit with difficult thoughts. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps spot unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches practical skills to change behaviours that maintain anxiety or low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people try new ways of relating that feel more helpful.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Bilkan will aim to find a way of working that fits a person's goals and preferences. She discusses options openly and adapts tools from different methods so the plan suits the individual's needs and life circumstances.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking. The practical benefits of online sessions often include fitting therapy around parenting or work commitments, shorter check-ins when needed, and the option to choose audio if video is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can help structure sessions so they slot into a routine while addressing relationship issues, grief, stress and other concerns.
