Gulsan Abubakar Karbani, NCPS

Gulsan Abubakar Karbani is licensed in the United Kingdom and brings more than 37 years of professional experience to her therapeutic work. She has supported people coping with stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflicts, and the complex process of grief and loss. Gulsan approaches each person with the assumption that they are the expert of their own story and that they already possess many strengths that can be drawn on to meet life’s challenges. She emphasizes empowerment and collaborative support, helping clients identify and build on those internal resources as they move toward clearer goals and greater well-being. Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life often requires courage, and Gulsan offers steady guidance and practical help throughout that process. She holds NCPS, a professional registration that reflects her qualifications and standing as a registered practitioner in psychological care, and she applies her decades of experience to create a calm, respectful space where clients can explore change and healing.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Gulsan draws on evidence-informed approaches to guide online sessions in ways that suit each person’s needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being controlled by them, and it focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward a meaningful life - useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns of relating and emotional bonds formed in close relationships, supporting people who struggle with intimacy, abandonment, or recurring relationship conflicts by fostering more secure ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, often helping with symptoms of depression, anxiety, and anger by teaching skills that can be practiced between sessions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Gulsan works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit best based on their goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities. Registered professionals and therapists often blend techniques to meet individual needs, and Gulsan tailors recommendations with that flexibility in mind.

Online therapy makes those options more accessible: sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing appointments to fit into busy schedules and different time zones. These formats support continuity of care and make it easier for clients to engage consistently with therapy from wherever they are located.
