About Bilkan
Bilkan Kilicer is a counsellor with six years of clinical experience. She holds BACP accreditation, and she works in the United Kingdom. Bilkan aims to make first contact less daunting and offers a calm, steady presence for people beginning therapy.
She uses an integrative psychodynamic stance, helping people look at what is happening now and at how past experiences may still shape daily life. She often supports people who have experienced trauma and treats those concerns with patience and warmth.
Background and approach
Bilkan focuses on building connection and understanding rather than rushing to fixes. Sessions are conversational and collaborative. She listens carefully, reflects back what she hears, and helps clients notice patterns that keep them stuck.
From there she works with each person to try different ways of responding and to build coping skills that fit their life. The therapist draws on a range of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques, and elements of dialectical behaviour therapy. These methods are woven together to suit each person rather than applied rigidly.
Bilkan aims to help people feel more able to manage stress, relationships, mood and identity concerns. People who come for support can expect steady pacing, straightforward language and a focus on practical next steps. She is welcoming of LGBT people and those facing relationship, grief, parenting or career-related concerns.
Bilkan supports international clients and works in English.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then focus on small values-based actions that matter. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current relationship patterns and aims to develop more supported ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Bilkan collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences. She will discuss what feels most useful and try different ways of working together to see what helps.
The therapist's profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful because they can fit meetings into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow a shorter check-in when needed. Online work can make it easier to access a therapist who understands trauma, relationship issues or LGBT concerns when location would otherwise be a barrier. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and pacing to suit remote sessions, and Bilkan tailors each meeting to the practical realities of a client's daily life.
