About Filiz
Filiz Yilmaz is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She draws on several psychological approaches to help people who are feeling stressed, anxious, or facing trauma. Filiz works in English and Turkish and can also offer support in French.
She takes an integrative approach, mixing attachment-based ideas, psychodynamic thinking and client-centred listening. Filiz uses mindfulness exercises to help reduce stress and build emotional resilience.
Background and approach
She also pays attention to how emotions show up in the body and helps people notice and manage physical symptoms linked to stress or trauma. Her work covers a range of life difficulties including self-esteem struggles, issues linked to sexual orientation, family-related concerns, and the effects of abuse.
Filiz supports people through major life transitions such as IVF, pregnancy, miscarriage, the postpartum period and the perimenopausal and menopausal stages. She has a particular interest in neurodiversity and offers help around autism and related diagnostic journeys. Filiz also addresses attachment problems, communication difficulties, and challenges like impulsivity, guilt and shame.
Sessions focus on building a trusting relationship, talking through feelings, and developing practical ways to cope day to day. People can expect a calm, thoughtful space where their experience is explored and understood. Filiz aims to help clients gain clarity, emotional balance and better ways to manage stressful situations.

Online support
Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. Filiz will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together they will decide what to try. This collaborative process means the plan can change as progress is made or new priorities emerge.
Online sessions can be delivered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different routines and energy levels. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth, and chat or text can be a shorter check-in or a way to express thoughts without being on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments while still working through difficult feelings and practical challenges with a registered professional.
