Canse Karatas (MBACP), BACP

Canse Karatas (BACP) is a counsellor who helps people untangle overwhelming feelings and make lasting changes. She introduces a steady presence and practical steps so clients can move from surviving to feeling more able to cope. Her direct aim is to help people process difficult experiences and grow in ways that feel meaningful to them.

Canse draws on a range of approaches to suit different needs rather than one fixed method. She frames therapy as a space to break difficult issues into smaller parts and to confront fears at a manageable pace. Sessions emphasise understanding how past experiences shape current thoughts, feelings and relationships.

She has worked in community mental health services, inpatient units and crisis intervention, and has experience in therapeutic community settings. This practical background informs how she supports people during hard moments and periods of change.

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) and holds professional insurance and an Enhanced DBS check.

Her style is holistic and relational, blending humanistic and psychodynamic ideas with creative ways of working. She welcomes people from diverse backgrounds and pays attention to cultural factors and life context when planning therapy.

To begin, people are invited to outline what they'd like to change and decide on practical next steps together.

How Can Therapeutic Approaches Work Online

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they may feel unsafe in close relationships and supports building more reliable ways of relating. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices and grounding skills to manage stress, anxiety and intense emotions in day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is usually collaborative. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different ways of working until something fits. Together you will choose methods that match your needs, pace and preferences rather than accepting a single style from the start.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time, which can make regular attendance easier. Online work can also allow quieter check-ins by phone or shorter sessions if that suits your routine; please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can still use attachment thinking and mindfulness skills effectively in remote sessions, helping you apply techniques in everyday situations and track small changes over time.
