About Kartar
Kartar adapts what she does to suit each person's values and strengths. She draws on evidence-based methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based CBT and schema-informed strategies. These tools are used flexibly to help with everyday problems and long-term patterns.
Sessions focus on small, doable changes rather than big, sudden shifts. Kartar helps clients notice what matters to them, practise new skills, and make choices that match their goals. She pays attention to things like guilt, shame, isolation and life purpose when they come up.
People coping with chronic pain, illness or disability can bring those specific stresses into therapy. Kartar also works with concerns around pregnancy and childbirth, forgiveness, and building self-love. She keeps the work grounded so it fits around daily life and responsibilities.
Her style is calm and collaborative. She understands seeking help can feel difficult and aims to make the process straightforward. Clients are invited to share feedback so sessions adjust to what actually helps.

How evidence-based methods work online and in session
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take steps that reflect those values. It often uses short exercises and practical experiments to shift behaviour and reduce avoidance. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with everyday activities, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Mindfulness-based CBT combines present-moment awareness with cognitive techniques to manage stress and repetitive worrying.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and choose methods together with the client based on needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape what techniques are used and how progress is tracked.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around parenting, work or health commitments. It also allows for shorter check-ins when people need a prompt strategy, or longer sessions when tackling complex issues like chronic pain or grief. Appropriately registered therapists can adapt exercises and homework so they work well between sessions and inside everyday life.
