Atakan Karakas

Atakan Karakas is a counsellor who uses person-centred and evidence-based therapies to help people facing common life stresses. She invites clients to bring their own story and strengths into sessions. Her approach aims to make therapy feel practical and understandable for worried parents and carers.

She works from methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy. These approaches are used to address worries about anxiety, stress, grief and depression, and to help with relationship, intimacy and communication concerns. Sessions also cover neurodiversity-related topics such as ADHD and autism spectrum matters that affect daily life.

With seven years of experience, she draws on a range of ways to help people cope with change and difficult feelings. People often work on setting small goals, learning skills to manage emotions, and building clearer routines for sleep, eating and daily care. Practical problem-solving and gentle reflection are both part of the work.

She holds NCPS, which is listed as her professional credential. Sessions are offered in English and Turkish, and she accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and a subscription system is used that can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches online and how they help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take practical steps towards what matters. It is often used for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on checking unhelpful thinking patterns and changing behaviours to reduce symptoms like low mood or anxiety. It commonly helps with sleep, eating and mood problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication, and it can help with intimacy and relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with each person about their goals, needs and preferences. Together they decide which method or combination feels most useful, and adjustments are made as the work progresses.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around work, caregiving and day-to-day routines. Online work can make shorter check-ins simpler, reduce travel time, and allow people to join from a usable room on a busy day. If you need to coordinate times across time zones, note that she accepts international clients and scheduling can be arranged to suit your circumstances.
