About Canse
Canse Karatas (BACP) is a counsellor with 12 years of experience supporting people who feel overwhelmed, stuck or low. She speaks plainly and meets people where they are to help them make real, manageable changes. Canse aims to create a space where difficult memories and emotions can be talked through without judgement.
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
Her background includes work in community mental health services, inpatient units and crisis intervention. This range of experience informs how she notices patterns and responds to immediate needs. Her style blends relational and psychodynamic ideas with client-centred and mindfulness work.
Sessions focus on understanding how past experiences shape current feelings and behaviours. She helps people break complex problems into smaller steps they can act on. Canse also uses trauma-focused ways of working when past events keep causing distress.
She encourages exploring emotions safely and at a pace that feels manageable. Conversations may include practical coping skills, noticing unhelpful patterns and building new ways of relating to oneself. People come to her for a wide range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and eating issues.
She values cultural diversity, listens without judgement and supports people to find clearer direction. English is her first language and she accepts international clients.

Online support
She also draws on trauma-focused and attachment-based ideas to understand how early or painful experiences affect current mood and relationships. Trauma-focused work supports processing difficult memories; attachment-based work looks at how patterns of relating can be changed to feel safer and more connected.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. She will discuss options with each person, trying methods that match their goals and comfort level. The plan can be adjusted as the work unfolds so the approach stays useful and manageable.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy fit different lives. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be shorter or easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options give flexibility for work, travel or living in another country while maintaining continuity of care with a registered professional.
