About Atakan
Atakan Karakas is a counsellor registered with NCPS in the United Kingdom and has seven years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, anger, relationship concerns and a wide range of life changes. She speaks English and Turkish and accepts international clients.
Her practice starts by treating the person as the expert on their own life. She asks about what matters most and listens for the strengths someone already uses. Sessions focus on small, practical steps rather than abstract promises. That might mean noticing thought patterns, trying out new behaviours, or practising ways to calm down when anger flares.
Atakan draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy. She explains what each approach looks like and uses them to match the work to the problem at hand. For someone struggling with work frustration or built-up resentment, sessions aim to help spot triggers and test different responses.
She also works with issues like ADHD, addictions, grief, sleep and eating problems, and career strain. People speaking Turkish can use their native language in sessions as needed. The therapist describes therapy as a steady, practical process and encourages taking one step at a time.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule their first session using the online booking flow.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then making small committed moves in line with what matters. It can help when anger or frustration gets in the way of the life someone wants to lead. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical experiments to test new responses to triggers. Attachment-Based Therapy examines patterns from past relationships and how they affect current reactions, which can be useful for recurring resentment or intimacy-related anger.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Atakan explains what each method involves and then agrees a plan with the client. That collaboration helps decide which tools to use and how quickly to try them in sessions.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people choose online sessions because they fit around work, cut travelling time and make it easier to keep a regular schedule. Online work also allows for shorter check-ins or camera-off conversations when that helps someone engage. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt the chosen approach to the practicalities of remote sessions and everyday life.
