Filiz Yilmaz, BACP

Filiz Yilmaz is a fully qualified, insured therapist and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), demonstrating adherence to the BACP Ethical Framework and its standards for professional practice. She works in an integrative way, blending approaches from attachment theory, psychodynamic perspectives, client-centered methods, and mindfulness to tailor support to each individual's needs.

Filiz often explores early relationship patterns through attachment-based ideas and draws on psychodynamic thinking to help surface underlying emotional dynamics. She uses mindfulness practices to build emotional resilience and reduce stress, and adopts a person-centered stance that prioritizes the client-therapist relationship as a catalyst for insight and change. She also pays attention to the mind-body connection, helping people understand how emotional distress can show up as physical symptoms such as chronic pain or fatigue and offering strategies to manage those effects.

Having lived in multiple countries and cities, Filiz brings a strong appreciation for cultural diversity and a focus on neurodiversity, supporting people through diagnostic journeys and the adjustments that follow. She provides care for a range of life transitions and challenges, including IVF, pregnancy, miscarriage, the postpartum period, and perimenopause and menopause. Filiz offers therapy in English and Turkish, and can provide support in French with some linguistic nuance differences, while maintaining a consistent standard of care.

Integrative Approaches for Online Support and Growth

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding how early relationships shape current patterns of relating. It explores attachment styles and helps address issues such as trust, intimacy, and relationship difficulties by tracing how past experiences influence present behavior.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches practical skills to notice thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations without judgment. These techniques can support emotional regulation, reduce stress, and improve day-to-day coping when feeling overwhelmed.

Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the heart of the process, emphasizing empathy and collaboration. It creates a space where clients are encouraged to explore their feelings and values, building self-awareness and fostering personal growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Filiz works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the approach over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Filiz offers flexible access through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to receive care around work, family, or geographic constraints. These options allow for ongoing support and continuity of care while accommodating individual schedules and communication preferences.
