About Gulsan

She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, cope with grief and loss, and navigate relationship or family tensions.

Background and approach
Sessions aim to identify strengths, make small changes and try new ways of handling hard moments. Her background includes varied therapeutic approaches such as Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. These approaches guide how she helps people sort feelings, spot unhelpful patterns and set clear goals.
Work often includes learning to respond differently to painful emotions and practising new communication habits. Gulsan also pays attention to attachment and relationship dynamics when those issues affect wellbeing. She helps people who struggle with intimacy, abandonment worries, blended family tensions or the stress of caregiving.
Practical tools and gentle conversation are used to reduce isolation and rebuild confidence. Sessions may cover coping with chronic illness, body image and life transitions such as separation or ageing.

Online support
How EFT, ACT and Attachment work online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and work with the emotions that drive their behaviour and relationships. It is useful when strong feelings make it hard to connect or to make sense of painful moments.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on identifying personal values and taking small, value-driven steps. It supports coping with anxiety, stress and life changes by teaching practical skills to live by what matters most.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in important relationships and how those patterns affect current reactions. It can help when worries about abandonment, trust or closeness keep returning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and choose methods that fit. This decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
Online sessions can use video calls, phone contact, live chat or text messaging to suit different needs. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation, phone can be lower-bandwidth and less confronting, short live chats work for quick check-ins and text messages can support ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around daily life.
