About Canse
Canse Karatas (BACP) brings over a decade of practice to her counselling and psychotherapy work. She trained in psychology and completed a postgraduate diploma in counselling and psychotherapy. Canse aims to help people face overwhelming feelings and make changes that allow them to live more fulfilling lives. She writes and runs projects on mental health and has organised awareness events, reflecting a long-standing commitment to the field.
Canse emphasises a human-centred, relational style. Sessions focus on understanding what keeps someone feeling stuck and making practical steps to process emotions. She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to centre the person’s experience, and uses psychodynamic and attachment-informed ideas to look at patterns that repeat in relationships and moods.
Mindfulness techniques are used to bring attention to the present and reduce automatic reactions. When trauma or abuse is part of the story, trauma-focused methods are blended in to approach painful memories carefully. Canse describes her current practice as more holistic than purely clinical, and invites curiosity about different ways of working.
Her background includes community mental health services, inpatient units, crisis intervention and a therapeutic community setting that worked with personality and dissociative presentations. Canse is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and holds insurance and an enhanced DBS.
Sessions aim to break difficulties into manageable steps, confront fears and build lasting change. English is her first language and she is able to work with people internationally. To begin, clients follow the site process to match and schedule appointments.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Canse commonly draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and responding to what matters most to the person, helping them feel heard and understood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from past relationships that influence current feelings and interactions, which can help when relational issues or mood problems repeat. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and build calm in everyday life.Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods over time. Together they will decide which combination of listening, exploration and practical exercises best suits the person's situation.
Practical benefits of remote sessions can include easier scheduling and fitting therapy into work or family routines, fewer travel demands, and the ability to use short check-ins when life is busy. The exact session formats have not been specified here, so confirm current options when booking. Registered or accredited professionals often offer a range of session styles to help therapy fit into daily life without needing major rearrangement.
