About Atakan

She is a UK-licensed therapist with five years of professional experience who brings a strengths-based, collaborative approach to therapy. She holds NCPS, a professional credential that reflects her training and commitment to clinical standards. She approaches each person as the expert of their own life, helping them identify existing resources and build new strategies to face the challenges they name.

She understands that beginning therapy takes courage and values the step people take when they reach out for support. Her style is supportive and nonjudgmental, focused on helping individuals move toward clearer goals and more manageable day-to-day coping. She aims to create a space where clients can explore difficult emotions, clarify values, and practice skills that fit their unique circumstances.

Whether someone is dealing with stress, loss, relationship concerns, or major life changes, she works to meet clients where they are and walk alongside them through the therapeutic process. She acknowledges the effort involved in starting and continuing therapy and expresses pride in each person who begins that work.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify their values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present. It often helps with anxiety, stress, and life transitions by teaching acceptance, mindfulness, and goal-focused behavior. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in relationships that began in early life and looks at how those patterns affect current connections and emotional responses; it can be especially useful for relationship challenges, abandonment concerns, and intimacy-related issues.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and a nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship. This approach helps individuals feel heard and understood while they explore self-esteem, grief, and personal growth. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each client to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences.

Online therapy with a licensed professional offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules or different time zones. These options help maintain continuity of care and let clients choose the format that feels most comfortable and accessible for their circumstances.
