About Bilkan
Bilkan Kilicer is a counsellor with six years' experience who combines attention to current life issues with a focus on how earlier events still affect feelings and behaviour. She works gently and patiently, offering a listening approach shaped by warmth and empathy. Bilkan is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which she lists as BACP.
She accepts clients in the United Kingdom and international clients, and she conducts sessions in English.
Background and approach
Bilkan often supports people after painful or difficult experiences and has a particular interest in trauma and abuse. She helps people name what is happening now, notice patterns that keep them stuck, and try different ways of relating to themselves and others. Conversations are paced to suit the client, with attention to what feels manageable.
Her way of working is collaborative and curious. She pays attention to both feelings in the present and earlier relationships that may still shape responses today. This can help with issues such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief, and intimacy-related concerns.
Practical problems like sleeping difficulties, stress at work, parenting strain, and caring for someone with illness are also within her focus. She also supports people navigating relationship difficulties, separation, and issues connected to identity and LGBT concerns. Sessions can be delivered by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.
Cost varies by location and availability and uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and focuses on taking small steps toward a valued life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches tools to change unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current ways of relating and can be useful for intimacy and trust issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about their needs, goals and preferences and will try different ways of working together to see what fits best. Decisions about methods are collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from different locations, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suits brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel while keeping ongoing contact with a therapist.
