About Bilkan
Bilkan Kilicer is a BACP counsellor who combines insight into past experiences with attention to current life challenges. She introduces herself with a calm, patient manner and aims to make the first steps into therapy feel less daunting. Bilkan emphasises a warm, non-judgemental presence so people can talk at a pace that feels comfortable.
She often helps people who have been through traumatic or painful events. Sessions focus on understanding how past patterns affect today and finding practical ways to move forward.
Background and approach
Conversations are guided by curiosity and aimed at increasing self-awareness rather than rushing to fix things. Bilkan uses a blend of approaches that match what each person needs. That might include looking at thoughts and behaviours, exploring how early relationships shaped responses, or building skills to manage distress.
The emphasis is on simple, usable steps rather than jargon or complex techniques. People meet Bilkan to address many concerns, including stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, grief, sleep problems, and depression. She also supports those facing life changes, caregiving stress, chronic physical illness, or identity-related issues such as LGBT concerns.
Bilkan works in English and accepts international clients. She offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging sessions. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a session is scheduled according to availability.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It uses straightforward strategies to test unhelpful thoughts and build new routines, often helping with mood, sleep and worry.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Bilkan will discuss options and adapt methods based on what you want to achieve. This is a collaborative process where your goals and preferences shape the plan.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video can suit deeper conversations, phone works when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat can be useful for short check-ins or when fitting sessions around work or caregiving. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to use the formats that best fit day-to-day life.
