About Filiz
Filiz Yilmaz is a BACP-registered counsellor who brings three years of clinical experience to her work. She practises in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English, Turkish and French. Filiz aims to create a calm space where people can talk about difficult feelings and life changes without pressure.
She uses a blend of approaches drawn from attachment theory, psychodynamic ideas, person-centred work and mindfulness. That means she pays attention to early relationship patterns, to how feelings show up in the body, and to the practical steps someone can take to feel steadier day to day.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and tailored to each person’s needs. Filiz has particular experience supporting people around stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and LGBT-related issues. She also helps with family and relationship concerns, divorce and separation, and challenges linked to immigration and cultural change.
She is attentive to neurodiversity and can support people navigating autism assessment or life after diagnosis. She often works with people facing reproductive and reproductive-aged transitions, including IVF, pregnancy, miscarriage, postpartum experiences, and perimenopause or menopause. Filiz listens for how these events affect identity, relationships and emotional well-being, and she helps clients make sense of those changes.
People can expect a reflective, warm approach that balances emotional exploration with practical coping skills. Filiz invites potential clients to use the platform's Start Therapy process to share their concerns and schedule an initial session.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Filiz commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and supports taking small, values-led actions. Attachment work looks at early relationship patterns and how they influence reactions now, which can help with anxiety, trust and communication.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Filiz works collaboratively to identify which methods suit a person's goals and preferences. Together they will try ways of working and adjust them as needed so sessions feel useful and manageable.
Please confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family or busy days. It can also allow shorter check-ins if a longer in-person session is hard to arrange, and remove the need to travel so appointments are simpler to attend.
