About Filiz
Filiz Yilmaz is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She brings three years of clinical experience and a lived experience of different cultures to her practice, offering sessions in English, Turkish and French. Her work is integrative.
She draws on attachment ideas to look at early relationship patterns and psychodynamic thinking to track repeated life themes. Filiz also uses person-centred listening and mindfulness practices to help people notice thoughts and feelings without judgement.
Background and approach
Filiz pays close attention to how emotions affect the body. She helps people recognise when stress, trauma or unresolved feelings show up as pain, fatigue or other physical symptoms. Conversations in sessions include practical ways to manage those reactions and small experiments between meetings.
She specialises in helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, issues around sexual orientation, family concerns and self-esteem. Additional areas include attachment difficulties, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, caregiver stress, communication and relationship endings. Filiz aims to build a trusting working relationship where clients feel heard and understood.
Her approach is collaborative and tailored - she and the client agree on goals and steps. Sessions are offered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging, with arrangements made through a short matching questionnaire.

Practical therapy approaches for online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, stress and getting unstuck from avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they shape current feelings and reactions; it can help when attachment issues affect trust, closeness or emotion regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Filiz collaborates with each person to identify which methods suit their needs and goals. That means trying different ways of working and agreeing on small steps to try between sessions, so the approach is personalised and practical.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people talk face to face when that feels important, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can suit shorter check-ins or days when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping the focus on progress and practical coping skills.
