Bilkan Kilicer
Calm, collaborative counselling for life’s difficult moments
About Bilkan
Bilkan Kilicer is a counsellor who blends attention to the past with practical support for the present. She has six years of experience and holds BACP registration, and she aims to make the first steps into counselling feel manageable. Bilkan presents a calm, patient manner and focuses on building a trusting therapeutic connection.
She often helps people who have experienced trauma and abuse, and those dealing with anxiety, depression, stress and self-esteem difficulties.
Background and approach
She also supports people with relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, parenting strain, and challenges such as chronic illness, sleep problems and career stress. LGBT concerns, ADHD and bipolar disorder are also within her scope of work. Bilkan uses a mix of approaches to suit each person.
That can include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centred ways of working, cognitive behavioural strategies and elements of dialectical behaviour therapy. She aims to simplify psychological concepts so they are useful in day-to-day life. Her style is warm and curious.
She listens without judgement and encourages people to notice patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions focus on what feels most urgent and practical steps that can help between meetings. People who prefer a collaborative and reflective style tend to find her approach helpful.
Bilkan will work at a pace you can manage, offering steady support while you explore changes and build new skills.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people focus on what matters most to them and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking values-based action. It can help with anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns and helps people build healthier ways of relating and feeling safe in relationships. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and testing new, practical ways of responding to reduce symptoms such as anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they will try methods that suit the person's needs and adjust the plan as progress and priorities change.
Online therapy with Bilkan is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when that feels helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief updates, reflection between sessions or when someone prefers written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping the collaborative work with a registered professional consistent.
