About Bilkan
Bilkan Kilicer is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She works with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns, and offers support around trauma, grief and self-esteem. Sessions are offered in English and Bilkan accepts international clients.
Bilkan uses an integrative psychodynamic approach that looks at what is happening now and how past experiences still influence the present. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide sessions when those methods fit the person's needs. Therapy focuses on understanding patterns, naming hard emotions and building practical ways to respond differently.
In sessions she helps people talk through painful experiences at a pace that feels manageable. Conversations aim to clarify what keeps someone stuck and to try new ways of relating to themselves and others. Practical strategies from CBT or ACT may be combined with longer reflection about earlier life events.
Bilkan pays attention to relationship issues, intimacy concerns, parenting pressures and workplace stress. She also works with complex grief, chronic health challenges and conditions such as bipolar and ADHD listed as areas of focus. The work can include exploring attachment and communication patterns that affect everyday life.

How Bilkan uses therapeutic approaches in online work
Bilkan blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with attachment-informed thinking. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps name emotions that are hard to express. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages clear values and small actions to move toward those values despite difficult feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early connection styles affect current relationships and communication.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Bilkan will talk with each person about their concerns, goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to draw on. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and support regular check-ins. It can also allow for shorter phone or video catch-ups when a brief check-in suits practical schedules rather than longer in-person appointments.
