Filiz Yilmaz
Integrative counsellor focusing on relationships and resilience
About Filiz
Filiz Yilmaz is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She brings three years of clinical experience and an integrative style to sessions. Filiz works in English, Turkish and French and has lived in several countries, which shaped her approach to cultural differences.
She describes her work as collaborative and grounded in the therapeutic relationship. Filiz draws on several therapeutic ideas rather than a single method.
Background and approach
She often uses attachment-based thinking to look at early relationship patterns and psychodynamic ideas to help uncover recurring life themes. She also uses mindfulness practices to help people manage stress and increase emotional awareness. She pays attention to how emotions show up in the body and helps people notice links between stress, trauma and physical symptoms like fatigue or chronic pain.
This means sessions can include talking about feelings and noticing bodily reactions together. Filiz also supports people through life transitions, including pregnancy, miscarriage, IVF, postpartum and the perimenopausal or menopausal periods. Filiz has a strong interest in neurodiversity and can help people who are navigating the diagnostic process or adjusting after diagnosis.
She also works with concerns such as anxiety, stress, trauma and issues around identity and self-esteem. Her manner is calm and curious, and she aims to help people build insight and practical ways to cope. Sessions are offered in the United Kingdom and use a subscription model for scheduling.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling
Filiz often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values rather than fighting inner experiences. ACT can help with anxiety, stress and decisions about change.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current reactions and patterns. This approach helps people understand why they may struggle in close relationships and practise different ways of relating.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Filiz will discuss options and try methods that match the client's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative conversation and adjustments can be made as therapy progresses.
Online work is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging to give flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face dialogue, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
