About Bilkan
Bilkan Kilicer is a counsellor who combines an interest in present-day difficulties with attention to past experiences. She brings six years of experience and a warm, patient approach to sessions. Bilkan aims to make it easier to talk about painful events and to help people feel understood as they begin to make changes.
She describes herself as integrative and psychodynamic, which means she explores how past relationships and memories may still shape current reactions. She also works in ways drawn from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to offer practical ways to respond to distress.
People come to Bilkan for a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, codependency and issues with self-esteem. She also supports those struggling with sleep, parenting strain, career pressures, ADHD and chronic illness related stress.
In sessions she focuses on building connection and curiosity. Conversations aim to identify patterns that keep someone stuck and then try small, manageable steps to change those patterns. Bilkan listens without judgment and adjusts the pace to suit each person.
Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and she works in English. She holds BACP as a stated credential. To begin, people use the platform Start Therapy flow to match and schedule a first appointment.
How these approaches can work online
Bilkan draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centred ways of working. ACT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and problems with motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns and can help with intimacy issues and feeling safer in connections. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises the person's experience and aims to build a trusting, non-judgemental space that supports self-understanding and growth.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Bilkan will discuss different methods and help decide what fits best with a person’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and the plan can change as the work develops.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing the need to travel. If you prefer shorter check-ins or conversations without video, discuss those options when you match and schedule. The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking to ensure they suit your routine and needs.
