About Bilkan
Bilkan Kilicer is a counsellor who combines attention to current life stresses with exploration of past experiences. She introduces herself with warmth and patience, and aims to make the first steps towards counselling feel less daunting. Bilkan is named here as the therapist and brings six years of practice to her work.
She often supports people who have lived through trauma and offers a steady presence while they talk things through.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on building understanding of patterns that keep people stuck and on finding small, practical steps forward. The tone is empathetic and non-judgemental. Bilkan uses a blend of approaches to suit each person.
That can include helping someone notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviours, working with attachment patterns, or using acceptance-based strategies to cope with distress. She adapts methods to the concerns a person brings. In the room she aims to listen carefully and reflect back what she hears.
She encourages curiosity about feelings and relationships, and supports people in practising new ways of relating to themselves and others. Sessions move at a pace set by the client. People turn to Bilkan for help with anxiety, low mood, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting strain, ADHD, sleep problems, and workplace stress.
She also addresses more complex areas such as bipolar mood challenges, compassion fatigue, body image, and chronic illness related distress. Bilkan is registered with the BACP, works in the United Kingdom, and offers sessions in English. She aims to create a respectful space where practical change and deeper understanding can grow.

Online support
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It is useful for people who want to understand trust, closeness and repeated relationship difficulties, and to practise different ways of connecting.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions suit shorter check-ins or times with limited bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging work for people who prefer writing and for quick check-ins between sessions. These options make counselling more flexible and easier to fit around work, caregiving and travel, while letting people try different formats to see what helps most.
