Background and approach

Sessions are collaborative; Bilkan listens, offers reflections and helps people notice patterns that can keep them feeling stuck. Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based work. That allows her to blend practical strategies with deeper exploration depending on what a person needs at the time.

Bilkan works with concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship problems, grief, self-esteem, sleep issues, parenting stress and ADHD. She also supports people dealing with anger, career decisions, chronic illness and body image concerns. Bilkan is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and offers sessions in English from the United Kingdom.

She accepts international clients and uses a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging for online work.

Therapeutic approaches for online work

Bilkan commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and values and then take manageable steps towards a life that matters to them. ACT can be helpful for anxiety, stress and coping with change.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and teaches practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for depression, sleep problems and managing worry.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Bilkan will discuss what you want to change and try methods that fit your goals and preferences. Over a few sessions she and the client will see what helps most and adapt the work accordingly.

Online formats she offers include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful when you want a more conversational session with visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good shorter check-in or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit quick reflections, journalling-style work or times when typing feels easier than talking. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, family and travel.
