About Atakan

Atakan Karakas is a counsellor who focuses on trauma and related concerns. She works from the view that people are the experts on their own stories. Her approach is practical and respectful, aimed at helping people find ways to cope and move forward.

She uses a mix of Trauma-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with steps that can be practised between meetings.

Background and approach

She keeps explanations plain and gives tools that fit daily life. Atakan draws on seven years of practice in the United Kingdom and holds the NCPS credential. That background informs how she balances listening with suggested strategies.

She aims to meet people where they are and to work at a pace they can manage. People come for help with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, parenting strains, and life changes. She also offers support around ADHD, eating and sleeping concerns, and compassion fatigue.

Additional areas include attachment, adoption and foster care, chronic illness, and body image. Sessions are offered in English and Turkish, and international clients can be seen online. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and a choice of session formats to suit different schedules.

Approaches you can use online and how they help

Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process and make sense of distressing experiences. It focuses on reducing the hold of painful memories and on building coping skills for day-to-day life.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them. It supports people to clarify values and take small actions that match what matters to them.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It can help with trust, communication, and feeling safer in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then try methods together to see what fits. That collaborative work shapes the plan rather than one fixed method being applied from the start.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows real-time written back-and-forth, and messaging suits brief check-ins or ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, or travel and let people choose what feels most comfortable for them.
