About Atakan
Atakan Karakas is a counsellor who uses collaborative, person-focused work to help people facing difficult life issues. She meets clients where they are and encourages them to build on their own strengths. Her approach aims to make the first step feel manageable and respectful.
With seven years of experience she draws on several practical methods. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters and commit to small changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is part of her toolkit for spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and trying new behaviours.
Attachment-Based Therapy informs how she looks at connection and hurt from close relationships. Her practice also includes Client-Centred and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy ideas when useful for emotional regulation and supportive listening. These methods are chosen to fit the person rather than follow a single formula.
She supports people working through stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life changes. Money and financial issues are listed among her areas of focus, alongside career concerns, addictions, ADHD, eating and sleeping difficulties, and intimacy-related problems. She also helps those dealing with caregiver strain, chronic illness, body image, and communication issues.
Sessions are offered in English and Turkish. She accepts international clients and works with people to find a way forward that suits their life and goals.
Approaches you can explore in online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps in that direction even when emotions are uncomfortable. It is often used for anxiety, stress and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and trying out new behaviour patterns to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration means plans can change over time as needs become clearer.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a work break. It can also help when quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth are needed, such as choosing audio-only rather than video. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt exercises and worksheets for remote sessions so that practical tools can be used between meetings.
