About Gulsan
Gulsan Abubakar Karbani is a counsellor with over 37 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and grief. She also supports those dealing with relationship and family difficulties and concerns about self-esteem and intimacy. Gulsan believes each person brings strengths to therapy and that reaching out is a courageous first step.
Her approach is grounded in practical conversation and collaborative planning. She draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred work to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of coping. Sessions tend to focus on real-life problems and small steps that can make a difference day to day.
Gulsan has long experience helping people process loss, trauma and abuse, as well as issues linked to eating, anger and chronic health challenges. She also supports clients through changes such as separation, caregiving strain and ageing concerns. Over the years she has worked with a wide range of personal and family-related stressors.
She offers therapy in English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu. Gulsan is listed with the NCPS credential shown and practices in the UK. Her manner is warm and respectful, aiming to help people feel heard and to develop practical strategies for coping.
Taking the next step involves a short matching questionnaire and arranging sessions to suit both people. Gulsan helps clients set realistic goals and reviews progress together as therapy continues.
Approaches for online care and practical change
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that fit their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, depression and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy considers how early relationship patterns influence current connections and can help with intimacy and relationship difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the journey. The therapist will work with the person to choose or blend methods that match their needs, goals and preferences, and will review how things are progressing together. This collaborative way helps tailor sessions to what actually helps the individual.
Please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. Choosing therapy online may also help people access a counsellor who speaks their language when that would otherwise be difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques to work well in remote sessions and focus on practical steps that transfer into everyday routines.
