About me
Hello, and welcome. I understand that starting this process may feel daunting, but I want to assure you that this is a warm, safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you will be heard. It's a place for you to explore and reflect on the underlying issues that may have been affecting you.
My name is Bilkan Kilicer, and I am a qualified Integrative Psychotherapist. This means I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches to best support your individual needs and concerns. . As an integrative psychotherapist, I blend various therapeutic approaches to tailor my practice to each of your needs. I draw from techniques such as cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), where I address negative though patterns and behaviours such as anxiety, to psychodynamic therapy, where we explore unconscious processes and past experiences. I also use humanistic methods, where we will emphasize on personal growth and self-fulfilment, to transactional analysis where I examine social transactions and communications patterns to understand and improve interactions.
My goal is to provide a safe trusting and non – judgmental environment, holistic, client-centred experience that supports your emotional well-being and personal growth, facilitating positive change, by working towards your goals, and improving coping strategies. Through a combination of these methods, I help you explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, aiming to foster healing, insight, and resilience.
What happens next?
The first session will be a 20-25 minute consultation, free of charge. This time will allow me to gather some basic information about you and understand the general background of what brings you to therapy. More importantly, it’s an opportunity for you to get a sense of whether we’re a good fit for working together, and from there, we can discuss the next steps forward
When should you start therapy?
Therapy isn't just for times of crisis or when you're at a breaking point. It's also valuable when you want to learn more about yourself, overcome barriers that have kept you from enjoying life or feeling like yourself, and understand how different experiences have shaped you. It can help when you're seeking healthier relationships, or simply when you need someone to talk to about personal matters without fear of judgement.

Experience
I have previously worked with BCU Life Skills, providing counselling to men and women who are unemployed or on low incomes in the Borough of Bexley. Many of these individuals faced complex issues such as stress, suicidal thoughts, depression, bereavement, low self-esteem, trauma, chronic illnesses, and disabilities.
I have also worked with a charity called Beatbullying. Beatbullying was a charity based in Croydon that provided a safe online platform for young people aged 11 to 16 to talk to mentors about bullying and other distressing issues. Through this supportive environment, teens could openly discuss their experiences, receive guidance, and find the help they needed to navigate their challenges
I also have a strong interest in working with adolescents, as this is a critical stage in their development. Teenagers often face challenges such as identity formation, peer pressure, academic stress, and family dynamics, and I aim to support them as they navigate these social and psychological hurdles.
I have also work with Revive Therapy which provides compassionate and tailored counseling services to individuals in Beckenham and the surrounding areas, focusing on fostering mental well-being and personal growth.
In addition, my experience as a teaching assistant in a special needs school has given me invaluable skills directly related to counselling. Supporting students with special needs required active listening, clear communication, and attentiveness to non-verbal cues—all of which are crucial in counselling. Being attuned to emotions and behaviors enables me to provide effective support.
As an online counselor on various platforms, I have the opportunity to connect with clients from diverse backgrounds and locations, making mental health support more accessible than ever. This flexibility allows me to tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of each individual, whether through video, chat, or messaging. Engaging in real-time conversations fosters a sense of immediacy and connection, while the convenience of online sessions encourages clients to seek help from the comfort of their own homes. This dynamic environment not only enhances my ability to provide effective support but also deepens my understanding of the different challenges people face in today’s fast-paced world.
Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
