About Filiz
Filiz Yilmaz is a counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She brings three years of practice to helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and concerns around identity and self-esteem. Filiz works in English, Turkish and French and offers online sessions across the United Kingdom.
Her style is integrative and relational. She draws on attachment ideas to look at early relationship patterns and on psychodynamic thinking to help people notice repeating life themes.
Background and approach
Filiz uses person-centred listening to create a space where people feel heard and understood. She often introduces mindfulness exercises to help calm the body and manage difficult thoughts. Filiz also pays attention to how emotions can show up physically, and she will talk through ways to recognise and respond to bodily symptoms like pain or fatigue.
Filiz supports people through life changes such as pregnancy, miscarriage, IVF, postpartum adjustments and the perimenopausal or menopausal transition. She is also interested in neurodiversity and offers practical support for people navigating assessment processes and life afterwards. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.
Filiz aims to help people understand their feelings, build self-awareness and find clearer ways to cope with the day-to-day demands they face.

Approaches you can try in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult thoughts and choosing actions that support personal values. It can help when anxiety or avoidance stops people doing things that matter to them. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they shape current connections. It is useful when someone wants to understand repeating relationship hurts and build safer ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Filiz will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person’s goals, needs and preferences. That decision can change as therapy progresses, and techniques may be blended to match what is most helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls let people read facial cues and body language, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier when on the move, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing contact between appointments. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping therapeutic continuity with registered professionals.
