- BACP
As a Counsellor and Psychotherapist, I am a member of BACP with extensive professional experience and knowledge. I specialize in helping clients deal with a wide range of issues, including stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, parenting concerns, addiction, relationship challenges, and more.
My approach is about creating a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can feel free to express their thoughts and feelings without fear of being criticized. It takes courage to take the first step towards a happier and more fulfilling life, and I am here to offer support throughout the process. Remember, you are not alone in this journey, and seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall rating:
Ilkay is great and I would always recommend her!
Ilkay is a positive influence who reminds me of my strength during difficult times. I highly recommend her as a therapist.
IIkay Alici has been a brilliant therapist for me over the last few months. I would recommend her to anyone. She has given me feedback on my behaviours and helped me understand myself in a way I couldn't do before. I have gained confidence in myself and my ability and have managed to talk about issues I have experienced when I never thought it would be possible. She is great with finding worksheets that fit the conversations and she works together with you to unpick emotions and feelings and holds your hand through the process.
Ilkay was very intuitive and compassionate
Ilkay has got to the route of the things I struggle with and quickly takes me in directions I wasn't expecting, all with a positive outcome. She has been kind, patient and very supportive.
