About Canse

Canse Karatas (BACP) draws on more than a decade of clinical experience to help people who feel overwhelmed, stuck or numb. She offers a calm space to talk through painful chapters of life, break big problems into smaller steps and work towards practical change.

Her approach aims to help people process emotions, regain momentum and pursue goals at a pace that feels right for them. Canse’s background combines a BA (Hons) in Psychology with a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Background and approach

She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and brings 12 years of experience across community mental health services, inpatient settings and crisis work. Her past roles include work in therapeutic programmes that supported people with severe difficulties and personality presentations.

In sessions she uses an integrative style rooted in relational and psychodynamic ideas, alongside client-centred and mindfulness-based ways of working. She draws on attachment-informed thinking to understand patterns that shape relationships and emotional responses. This mix is used to tune into what matters to each person rather than applying a fixed formula.

People come to her for a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, grief and relationship difficulties. She also supports work on life changes, career questions and eating or intimacy-related issues. Canse notes particular experience with attachment, dissociation, guilt and multicultural issues.

Her style is empathetic and down-to-earth. She values honesty, curiosity and collaboration and will help clients set clear, realistic aims. Sessions are conversational and tailored, with an emphasis on helping people make sustainable changes they can carry forward.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Canse uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process distressing experiences in a paced way, helping to reduce overwhelm and make painful memories easier to manage. This approach is often used when past events are still affecting daily life or relationships.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns. That can be useful for people who notice repeating difficulties in trust, closeness or communication with others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Canse will talk with each person about their needs, preferences and goals and adapt methods accordingly. The choice of approach evolves over time as progress and priorities become clearer.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use visual cues and deeper conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or those who prefer writing. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, travel or family life while keeping continuity of care.
