About Bilkan
Bilkan Kilicer is a counsellor who combines attention to the present with an understanding of past experiences. She works in a warm, patient way and aims to make the first steps into counselling feel less daunting.
Bilkan often supports people who have been through difficult or painful experiences, including trauma, and she seeks to create a space where clients can move at a comfortable pace. Her approach is curious and relational.
Background and approach
She helps people notice patterns that may be keeping them stuck and talks through how past events still show up today. Conversations focus on what matters to each person and on practical steps that feel manageable between sessions. Bilkan draws on several evidence-informed approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Attachment-Based Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT).
She adapts methods to match someone’s needs rather than following a single formula. Clients can expect a thoughtful, reflective style that balances gentle challenge with empathy. Sessions aim to deepen self-understanding and build skills for coping with stress, anxiety, grief and relationship issues.
Bilkan also offers support around parenting concerns and other life changes. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and works with people in the United Kingdom and internationally. Bilkan has six years of professional experience and offers several online formats to suit different circumstances.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Bilkan uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. ACT focuses on values and small actions that move someone toward the life they want, which can help with anxiety, stress and coping with change.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This work helps people see why certain reactions happen in close relationships and supports new ways of relating that feel safer and more connected.
Choosing the right approach is part of the journey. Bilkan discusses goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapts methods in collaboration with the client. Together they assess what helps most and adjust as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy lives or limited local options. Video calls let conversations feel face to face, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into short breaks, and live chat or text-based messaging allow brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family or travel commitments.
