About Canse

Canse Karatas (BACP) is a counsellor with 12 years of experience supporting people through difficult periods. She uses her background in psychology and counselling to help clients make sense of painful experiences and take practical steps forward. Canse aims to create a calm space where emotions can be noticed and understood without judgement.

Her training includes a BA (Hons) in Psychology with a clinical focus and a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Background and approach

She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP, and holds an Enhanced DBS check. Her work has included community mental health services, inpatient settings and crisis intervention, and she has run mental health awareness events for several years.

Canse draws on several approaches to shape therapy sessions, including psychodynamic ideas that look at past influences and attachment-based thinking about close relationships. She also uses client-centred listening to follow what matters most to each person and mindfulness techniques to help with grounding during stressful moments. Sessions tend to be relational and person-focused while addressing practical concerns.

She often helps people break complex problems into smaller, manageable steps. That might mean working on low mood, anxiety, trauma-related difficulties, issues with self-worth, or life transitions. Canse also supports people facing relationship strain, grief, addiction-related concerns, eating and intimacy-related issues, and career questions.

Canse values cultural diversity and brings that awareness into her work. She writes and contributes to mental health projects and remains committed to ongoing learning. English is her first language and she offers online sessions for people inside and outside the United Kingdom.

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.

Online support

Canse uses attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape present-day reactions and patterns, helping people understand why they may feel disconnected or repeatedly anxious in close relationships. This approach can be useful for addressing repeated relationship patterns, feelings of abandonment or difficulties with trust.

She also uses client-centred methods which focus on careful listening and following what matters most to the person in front of her. That style supports people who need a non-judgemental space to talk through low mood, confusion or life transitions. Mindfulness-based techniques are included too, offering simple exercises to manage stress and bring attention back into the body during overwhelming moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt methods as the relationship develops. This means the plan can change if different tools or perspectives are needed.

Online therapy offers flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a less visual check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who want shorter, written check-ins or who find it easier to express themselves in writing. These options help fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
