About Filiz
Filiz Yilmaz is a counsellor registered with the BACP who brings three years of clinical experience to her practice. She offers practical help for anxiety and stress and for people coping with trauma, relationship difficulties, identity questions and self-worth. Filiz works in English, Turkish and French and is based in the United Kingdom.
Her work blends several approaches so she can meet each person where they are. She draws on attachment ideas to look at early relationship patterns and psychodynamic thinking to understand repeated emotional responses.
Background and approach
Filiz also uses client-centred listening so people feel heard and accepted as they talk through difficult experiences. Mindfulness techniques are offered to build skills for managing anxious moments and stress. She pays attention to the link between emotions and the body, helping people notice how tension, pain or tiredness may connect to what they are feeling.
This can make emotional patterns easier to recognise and address. Filiz supports people through major life transitions and losses, including pregnancy related experiences, miscarriage, postnatal challenges and the menopause. She is also experienced in working with neurodiversity and can help people navigate the diagnostic process and life afterwards.
Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and practical steps. Filiz encourages reflective conversation, simple in-session practices and follow-up ideas people can try between meetings. The aim is to help people feel more in control of their emotions and better able to manage everyday stressors.
Therapeutic approaches for online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, worry and situations where fear limits everyday life.Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they react a certain way in close relationships and supports building different ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Filiz will work collaboratively to decide which methods best suit a person's goals, needs and preferences rather than imposing a single way of working.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera does not suit. Live chat and messaging can be used for shorter check-ins, brief practice between sessions or when flexible timing helps someone fit therapy into a busy day.
These formats make it easier to attend from different locations in the United Kingdom and to choose the way of connecting that feels most manageable.
