About Canse
Canse Karatas (BACP) is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 12 years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and relationship and intimacy concerns.

Her background includes a BA (Hons) in Psychology with a clinical focus and a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and carries professional insurance and an Enhanced DBS check. Over the years she has worked in community mental health services, inpatient settings and crisis intervention services.

Canse also mentions work in therapeutic communities and experience with complex presentations such as dissociation and personality-related difficulties. She notes project work in mental health awareness and writing on wellbeing topics.
People who prefer a conversational, reflective approach may find this style helpful. The initial steps usually involve describing current problems, identifying patterns and agreeing small, practical steps to try between sessions.
How her approaches translate to online work
Canse often combines attachment-based and client-centred ideas with mindfulness practices. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice how they respond to others. Client-centred ways of working focus on listening and reflecting back what feels most important, which can help someone feel heard and understood.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. She will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as the work unfolds.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy around everyday commitments and reducing travel time. Online meetings can also make it easier to have shorter check-ins or to choose not to be on camera if that helps concentration. Confirm the current session formats available before booking so you know how sessions will be arranged.
