About Atakan
Atakan Karakas is a counsellor who draws on Jungian ideas alongside practical therapies to help people facing stress, anxiety and life transitions. She uses plain language and short sessions to help clients feel understood. Atakan works in English and Turkish and provides therapy from the United Kingdom.
She takes a collaborative approach and treats the person, not just the problem. Sessions invite discussion of current struggles such as grief, career worries, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction concerns, or difficulties with sleep and eating.
Background and approach
She also helps people cope with trauma, compassion fatigue and major life changes. Atakan blends Jungian perspectives with approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based methods and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. That mix lets her combine exploration of personal meaning with hands-on skills for managing emotions and behaviour.
She holds NCPS as a documented credential and brings seven years of experience working with adults in the UK. She aims for clear goals and measurable progress while respecting each person's pace. Sessions are available in several online formats, including video calls, phone, live chat and text messaging.
International clients can be seen and practical details such as scheduling are organised when people complete the initial matching steps.

Online support
Working with Jungian ideas and practical therapies online
Jungian therapy invites exploration of personal stories, symbols and life patterns to help people find meaning in their struggles. It can be useful for those wondering why certain themes repeat in their life or for people seeking deeper self-understanding. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and taking values-based action to improve daily life. ACT often helps with anxiety, stress and motivation.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through your goals, preferences and what feels helpful. Together you decide whether to focus more on inner exploration, skill-building or a mix of both and adjust as you go.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how you connect. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities or travel and support consistent progress without long commutes.
