About Filiz
Filiz Yilmaz is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She draws on several approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety and the emotional aftermath of trauma. She works in English, Turkish and French and aims to make therapy practical and understandable.
Filiz uses an integrative style that mixes attachment ideas, psychodynamic thinking, person-centred listening and mindfulness practice. She often looks at how past relationship patterns shape current feelings and reactions. Sessions may also address the link between emotions and the body, and how stress or unresolved feelings can show up as pain, tiredness or other symptoms.
She offers support around life transitions such as pregnancy, miscarriage, IVF, the postpartum period, and perimenopause or menopause. Filiz also focuses on challenges like self-esteem, family conflict, immigration stress and issues connected to LGBT identities.
Filiz has particular interest in neurodiversity and in helping people through assessment processes and the changes that follow a diagnosis. She pays attention to practical coping strategies as well as emotional understanding.
The therapeutic relationship is central to her work. She aims to help people name their feelings, notice patterns, and make small changes that feel manageable. Her sessions are collaborative and paced to each person's needs.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Filiz often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based work in sessions. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings, and then focus on actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, stress and motivation issues. Attachment-based work looks at early relationship patterns to understand how they shape current reactions and difficulties, which can help with relationship problems and self-worth.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Filiz will discuss different methods with each person and tailor the work to their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where the client and therapist check what is helping and adjust as needed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow someone to choose not to use video or to pick a quieter time of day to talk, depending on what suits their life best.
