Online support

Gulsan uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck. This approach supports taking small, values-based steps even when things feel hard, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and life transitions.rr>She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at patterns in close relationships. These approaches help people understand how they relate to others, name their emotional needs and try new ways to connect or set boundaries.rr>Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gulsan will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest methods that match those needs. The process is collaborative and can change over time as progress is made.rr>Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you read facial cues and have fuller conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or want brief, frequent support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties or travel while keeping the focus on making steady, useful progress.
