About Canse

Canse Karatas (MBACP) is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 12 years of experience. She guides people through stress, anxiety, trauma and feeling stuck. Her style is warm and direct, focused on helping clients break problems into small, manageable steps so life feels less overwhelming.

Canse trained in psychology and completed a postgraduate diploma in counselling and psychotherapy. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

Background and approach

That background shapes a reflective approach that draws on different ways of working rather than a single method. In sessions she listens for patterns that feed low mood, emptiness or difficulty in relationships. She uses attachments and past experiences to help explain current reactions.

Conversations aim to build understanding, increase emotional awareness and create realistic changes that fit day-to-day life. Canse combines relational thinking with mindfulness and trauma-focused ideas when needed. She also brings a creative, human-centred sensibility to the work.

This means practical exercises, reflective talking and an interest in cultural and identity factors that affect wellbeing. People contact her about grief, relationship and intimacy issues, eating and food-related concerns, addiction, anger and career transitions. She also supports work around mood disorders, attachment issues, dissociation and multicultural concerns.

The first step is a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a session to discuss goals and next steps.

How Can Attachment, Mindfulness and Trauma Work Online?

Canse often uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. That approach helps when trust, closeness or patterns in relationships cause distress, and it can make behaviours clearer to change.

She also draws on mindfulness-based techniques to help people notice thoughts and bodily reactions without judgement. Mindfulness can make strong emotions easier to manage and is helpful for anxiety, low mood and stress.

Trauma-focused work is used when past events still cause pain or intrusive memories. This involves careful pacing, grounding strategies and building coping tools so difficult material becomes more manageable.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about their needs, goals and preferences and then agree a way forward together. That collaborative selection means methods are adapted over time if something is not helping.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people see facial cues and keep a face-to-face feel. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support more frequent, shorter contact and can fit around work or family commitments. Registered professionals use these formats to make therapy easier to access and fit into daily life.
