About Canse
Canse Karatas (BACP) introduces herself as a counsellor who helps people process difficult experiences and aim for lasting change. She writes simply and directly, and she invites anyone feeling overwhelmed, numb or stuck to talk through what is hard to face. Canse frames counselling as a place to break things down into manageable steps and to build towards goals over time.
She draws on more than 12 years of practice in community mental health services, inpatient settings and crisis intervention. Her background includes work in a therapeutic community and projects on mental health awareness, plus writing for wider-audience publications about wellbeing. Canse holds a BA (Hons) in Psychology with a clinical specialism and a PGDip in Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
In sessions she uses an integrative style influenced by humanistic, relational and psychodynamic ideas, with creative ways of working when suitable. That means conversations may focus on current feelings, past experiences that still affect you, and practical steps you can try between meetings. She emphasises empathy, depth and a personalised pace.
Canse often supports people facing anxiety, stress, trauma, low mood and relationship difficulties, and she lists panic and panic attacks among her areas of focus. She also works with concerns such as eating difficulties, grief, addiction and challenges around identity and belonging.
Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. To begin, people are asked to use the platform Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a session.
Approaches you can explore online with your counsellor
Canse often draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions and connection with others. That approach can help when patterns of closeness or fear of abandonment keep repeating in adult life.She also uses client-centred methods that put the person’s experience at the centre of the work, offering a calm, non-judgemental space to talk and to be heard. Mindfulness-influenced techniques may be used to help manage overwhelming feelings and reduce reactivity in the moment.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy journey. Canse will work collaboratively to decide which ideas and methods suit your needs, goals and preferences. You can expect ongoing conversation about what helps, and adjustments if something doesn’t feel useful.
If you are considering online work, check the session formats available before booking as the therapist's profile does not list formats explicitly. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow follow-ups after a difficult day. Some options involve video, others may be shorter check-ins or phone conversations, so confirm what is offered and choose what fits your routine and comfort.
