Canse Karatas (BACP) trained in psychology and counselling brings 12 years of practical experience supporting people through difficult life moments. She combines clinical study with community work and a commitment to ongoing personal and professional growth. Canse offers a calm, straightforward way of working that aims to make things feel more manageable, step by step.

Her background includes roles across community mental health services, inpatient settings and crisis intervention. She also contributed to therapeutic community work and mental health awareness projects, and has written about wellbeing for wider audiences.

Background and approach

Canse studied for a BA (Hons) in Psychology with a clinical focus and completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). In sessions she uses an integrative approach drawing on psychodynamic and relational ideas alongside client-centred and mindfulness-influenced ways of working.

That means conversations aim to surface patterns, name emotions and explore how past experiences shape present choices. Therapy often moves at the client’s pace and focuses on small, practical steps. Canse pays attention to cultural context and to issues like identity, shame and interpersonal difficulties.

She also works with trauma-related material and mood disorders while offering coaching-style support for life changes and career decisions. English is her first language and she works with people internationally. People counselling with her can expect respectful listening, curiosity about their story and collaborative planning.

Sessions may involve talking, reflective exercises and mindfulness-based techniques tailored to each person’s needs.

How Can These Approaches Work Online

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current trust and connection. Online sessions can help people notice recurring patterns in relationships and practise new ways of relating through discussion and reflection. Client-centred therapy prioritises the client’s own pace and goals, offering a listening space where people lead the conversation and receive empathic feedback to build self-understanding.

Canse will collaborate with each person to find the most helpful approach. Early meetings are used to discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, and then the therapist and client adjust methods together as progress is made. That collaborative process helps match technique to need rather than assuming one fixed method.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins, and text or live chat can suit people who prefer writing or need flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or differing energy levels while keeping the therapeutic relationship consistent and ongoing.
