About Bilkan
Bilkan Kilicer is an integrative psychodynamic counsellor with six years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She focuses on understanding what is happening in a person's life now and how earlier experiences may still be shaping feelings and behaviour. Bilkan aims to offer a warm, patient space where someone can talk about hard things without feeling rushed or judged.
She is particularly interested in supporting people who have experienced trauma.
Background and approach
Sessions are paced to each person's needs, with the counsellor offering reflection and steady listening rather than quick fixes. Bilkan emphasises building a trusting connection as the foundation for change. The work often looks at patterns that keep someone stuck and how those patterns began.
Conversation may include how relationships, attachment, and past events affect current reactions. Bilkan uses a mix of approaches to help people notice and try new ways of coping. Her approach draws on practical techniques alongside deeper exploration.
This can include identifying unhelpful thoughts, practising emotion regulation skills, and noticing relational habits. The aim is to help people make changes that feel manageable and relevant to everyday life. Bilkan holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP.
She offers therapy in English and accepts clients from outside the UK. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How Bilkan works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Bilkan will talk with clients about goals and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try. That collaborative process helps shape each course of therapy rather than imposing a single route from the start.
If you are considering online therapy, check the available session options before booking since the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when a quick conversation is helpful. It can also let someone choose settings where they feel calmer or less pressured to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often adapt exercises and reflections so they work well over distance, matching practical tools to the person's needs and routine.
