Hasan Kurtarici, BACP, NCPS

Hasan Kurtarici is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and relationship worries. He also supports people facing LGBT concerns and jealousy. He writes in a straightforward way and aims to make the first step feel manageable for anyone feeling overwhelmed.

Hasan uses Transactional Analysis to look at life scripts and communication patterns. He works alongside clients to uncover the beliefs that shape how they act and relate to others. Sessions focus on small, practical shifts that can change everyday interactions and feelings.

He has four years of experience and brings additional perspective as a British Sign Language interpreter. That experience informs his work with Deaf and hard of hearing people and others adjusting to sensory loss. He aims to make conversations accessible and to meet clients where they are.

In sessions Hasan helps people notice repeating patterns, try different ways of communicating, and build clearer boundaries. He also writes blogs about therapy topics on his website to share ideas between sessions. His style is direct but warm, and he encourages clients to use their own strengths as a starting point.

Taking the first step is framed as a practical move. Hasan asks people to describe what they want to change, then they set simple goals together. Progress is measured in everyday changes rather than labels or tests.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Transactional Analysis looks at the roles and scripts people live by and helps them try different ways of communicating. It is useful for relationship tension, jealousy, and recurring interaction patterns. Hasan uses this to help people spot unhelpful habits and test new responses in everyday life.

He also uses practical, evidence-based techniques that focus on noticing thoughts and behaviours and making gradual changes. These techniques help with anxiety, low mood and improving how someone handles stressful situations. The emphasis is on experiments you can practise between appointments so change happens outside the room as well as in it.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss options and decide together which techniques fit a person’s goals and style. That collaborative process means the plan can change as progress is made.

Please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Many people find online sessions useful because they can fit a meeting into a lunch break, avoid travel time, or use a shorter check-in when needed. Online work can make it easier to keep regular contact and to try new ways of communicating in day-to-day life.
