About Bilkan

Bilkan Kilicer is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. She practises an integrative psychodynamic approach, helping people look at what is happening now and how past experiences still affect their reactions. Her work includes supporting people dealing with anger, stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression and self-esteem concerns.

She often helps people who are coping with grief, sleep problems, parenting strain, career stress and life changes. Bilkan also works with issues such as ADHD, intimacy-related concerns and compassion fatigue. She lists a broad range of additional focus areas including attachment issues, communication problems, body image and caregiving stress.

Her clinical methods include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). In sessions she blends these approaches with psychodynamic insight to look at behaviour patterns and practical ways to respond differently.

Sessions aim to identify patterns that lead to snapping, building resentment or feeling overwhelmed, and to try new ways of handling those moments. Conversations are collaborative and paced by the person in front of her. People commonly work on clearer communication, managing strong emotions, and practical coping strategies.

Bilkan offers counselling in English and accepts international clients. She uses a subscription payment model that can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary with location. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How her approaches work in online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, and choosing actions that align with personal values. It can help with anger, anxiety and motivation by shifting the way someone responds to difficult emotions.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations and reactions in current relationships. It can be useful for intimacy-related issues, relationship conflict and patterns that repeat over time.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test different behaviours to change emotional responses. It is often used for anxiety, depression and problems with sleep or concentration.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Bilkan collaborates with each person to decide which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. She blends psychodynamic reflection with practical skills so people can both understand their patterns and try new responses in day-to-day life.

The biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a working day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Registered and accredited professionals often use remote sessions to help people practice new skills between meetings and apply them where they live and work.
