About Canse
Canse Karatas is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has around 12 years of experience and lists stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and depression among her main areas of work. She also notes interests in coaching, addictions, relationship and family issues, grief, intimacy, eating concerns, anger, career matters and coping with life changes.
Canse explains that painful experiences can be revisited in therapy so they stop shaping everyday life. She uses talking, reflection and practical steps to break problems into smaller parts. Sessions aim to make difficult feelings easier to understand and to help clients take manageable next steps towards their goals.
Her background includes a BA (Hons) in Psychology with a clinical specialism and a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy. She highlights experience in community mental health services, inpatient units and crisis intervention, and notes time working in a DBT-focused therapeutic community with women diagnosed with personality disorders and dissociative identity concerns.
Canse describes an integrative approach drawing on attachment-based ideas, client-centred work, psychodynamic thinking and mindfulness, plus trauma-focused practices. She mentions outreach work such as organising mental health awareness events and writing on wellbeing.
She works in English and accepts international clients. Her profile states she is insured and has an Enhanced DBS. To begin, the site’s booking flow is used to match and arrange a first session.
How Can Therapy Approaches Work Online
Attachment-based work looks at how relationships shape feelings and behaviour. In practice this means talking about patterns from childhood and current relationships to make sense of repeated struggles. It can help with trust, intimacy and feelings of abandonment.Client-centred work focuses on listening and the client’s own priorities. The counsellor offers reflection and gentle questioning so people can find their own solutions. This approach is often used for issues like low self-esteem, life changes and coping with loss.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and preferences and agree on a way forward together. That discussion can include which methods to bring into sessions and how to pace the work.
The profile does not list specific session formats here, so check the booking details to confirm current options before you book. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use online sessions to continue therapy with people who live elsewhere, and this counsellor accepts international clients according to her profile.
