Hasan Kurtarici, BACP, NCPS

Hasan Kurtarici offers calm, steady support for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and the challenge of building motivation and confidence. He works with LGBTQ+ related experiences and depression, guiding conversations that respect each person’s background and aims while focusing on practical steps toward change.

He has a particular specialism supporting Deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals, drawing on his role as a British Sign Language interpreter in the United Kingdom. That professional background gives him a practical perspective on sensory loss and communication needs, which he brings into therapeutic work.

Hak conveys a clear belief that the client is the expert in their own life story. He focuses on helping people identify strengths they already possess, explore core beliefs that shape behavior, and develop new ways to manage difficulties. His therapeutic work uses Transactional Analysis - a method for understanding life scripts, communication styles and core beliefs to enable meaningful change - along with other evidence-based therapeutic techniques.

Taking the first step into therapy is framed as an act of courage, and Hasan aims to walk alongside people as they explore challenges, acknowledge progress and work toward the life they envision. He also writes articles and maintains a blog at www.aynatherapies.co.uk.

Therapeutic approaches and accessible online care

Transactional Analysis is central to Hasan’s practice - it helps people explore life scripts, understand recurring communication patterns and identify core beliefs that influence feelings and behaviour, which can be useful for relationship issues, self-esteem concerns and patterns of anxiety. He also draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques, applying research-informed methods to help manage stress, depression, anxiety and relationship difficulties through practical skills and reflective work.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Hasan works together with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, and he adjusts the approach as therapy progresses so that the work remains relevant and effective.

Online sessions give practical flexibility - clients can meet by video call, talk by phone, or choose live chat or text-based messaging depending on what feels most comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, to access support from different locations, and to choose the communication style that suits an individual, including considerations for Deaf and hard-of-hearing clients given Hasan’s background as a British Sign Language interpreter.
