About Canse
Canse Karatas is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 12 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, addictions and challenges around relationships and career. Canse also lists life purpose among her focus areas and helps clients who feel stuck after big changes.
Canse draws on several psychotherapy traditions to guide sessions. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current reactions. She also works in client-centred and psychodynamic ways, encouraging people to speak openly about difficult memories and patterns. Mindfulness-based techniques are used when grounding and present-moment awareness can help reduce overwhelm.
Sessions are conversational and aim to break problems into manageable steps. Canse describes the work as exploring painful chapters at a pace the client can tolerate, noticing how old experiences appear in current behaviour and relationships. She mentions experience in community mental health, inpatient settings and crisis intervention, and has worked in therapeutic communities with people given personality-related diagnoses.
Her background includes a BA (Hons) in Psychology with a clinical focus and a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy. Membership of the BACP and an enhanced DBS check are noted in her profile. Canse has also been involved in mental health awareness projects and written on wellbeing topics.
Sessions are conducted in English. International clients are accepted, and practical details about booking and subscriptions are provided through the service's online process.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Canse combines attachment-based ideas with client-centred and trauma-focused work. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current emotions and behaviours, which can be useful for relationship, intimacy and abandonment concerns. Client-centred work focuses on listening, reflecting and helping people make sense of their own priorities without pressure. Trauma-focused approaches are aimed at helping people process painful or overwhelming experiences so they become less intrusive in daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Canse will discuss what feels most helpful early on and make adjustments as sessions progress. The style is collaborative: goals, pace and techniques are agreed together based on the client's needs and preferences.
