Canse Karatas (MBACP), BACP

Canse Karatas (BACP) is a counsellor with 12 years of experience. She trained in psychology and completed a postgraduate diploma in counselling and psychotherapy. She works with people who feel overwhelmed, stuck or numb and helps them find clearer ways to move forward.

Her practice aims to break big problems into manageable steps. She supports clients who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and relationship concerns. She also offers coaching for life changes, career challenges and issues around self‑esteem and intimacy.

Canse brings an integrative approach that draws on attachment ideas, psychodynamic thinking and client‑centred listening. She uses mindfulness and trauma‑focused methods where they help the work. Sessions focus on understanding patterns, processing emotions and building practical ways to cope day to day.

She has worked in community mental health services, inpatient units and crisis intervention, and spent time in a therapeutic community supporting people with personality‑related difficulties. Her background includes organising mental health awareness events and writing on wellbeing for international projects.

Clients can expect an open, empathetic space and a collaborative style. Canse describes her work as holistic rather than purely clinical, aiming to encourage growth while meeting each person’s individual needs. English is her first language and she accepts international clients.

How Can These Approaches Work Online

Attachment‑based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can help people notice those patterns, try new ways of relating and practise different responses to worry or fear. Client‑centred work puts the person at the heart of the conversation. It involves open listening and helping people make their own sense of things, which can be done through regular online meetings or scheduled conversations.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That may mean mixing attachment ideas with mindfulness or trauma‑focused techniques depending on what helps most.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to attend from different locations if travel or commitments make in‑person sessions difficult. Registered or accredited professionals generally tailor online sessions to suit practical needs while focusing on steady progress.
