About Canse
Canse Karatas (BACP) trained in psychology and counselling and brings 12 years of experience to her practice. She offers a calm, steady presence for people who feel overwhelmed, numb, or stuck. Canse aims to help clients break big problems into manageable steps and pursue lasting change.
She writes about mental health and has organised awareness events, which shapes her practical, engaged approach. She studied for a BA (Hons) in Psychology with a clinical focus and completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Background and approach
Canse is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. Her background includes community mental health services, inpatient units and crisis intervention work. Her practice blends humanistic and psychodynamic influences with relational and creative ways of working.
She draws on attachment-based ideas and trauma-focused thinking to understand how past experiences affect current relationships and feelings. Sessions aim to explore emotions, notice patterns and build new ways of relating to oneself and others. Canse often uses mindfulness and client-centred listening to help people notice what they need in the moment.
She encourages practical steps for coping and growth rather than only talking about problems. Her multicultural perspective and lived experience inform a respectful, curious stance. Sessions are offered in English and Canse accepts international clients.
She typically responds to messages within 24 to 48 hours on weekdays. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.

How Can Therapeutic Approaches Work Online
Canse draws on attachment-based ideas to notice how early relationships shape current reactions and ways of connecting. This approach helps when issues involve trust, fear of abandonment or repeated patterns in relationships. She also uses trauma-focused ways of working to help people address painful events, process difficult memories and reduce their ongoing impact on mood and behaviour.Finding the right approach is something to do together. Canse will listen to what matters most, test out what helps and adjust the way she works to match the client's goals and preferences. That collaborative process means techniques and pace are chosen with the client rather than imposed on them.
Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face to face when convenient, phone sessions can fit a short break at work or when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can be useful for ongoing check-ins or shorter reflections between sessions. These formats make it easier to arrange regular therapy around life commitments and to keep continuity of care even when schedules change.
