Hasan Kurtarici, BACP, NCPS

Hasan Kurtarici offers supportive, collaborative therapy for people navigating stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, identity questions, and the work of building motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. He approaches each person's experience as individual and important, helping clients tap into the strengths and resilience that have carried them this far. His practice pays careful attention to the particular needs of LGBTQ+ individuals and those working through relationship dynamics or life transitions.

Hasan brings specialist experience supporting Deaf and hard of hearing people, drawing on his role as a British Sign Language interpreter in the United Kingdom to inform his perspective on sensory loss and communication differences. He aims to make the therapeutic space accessible and attuned to how sensory experiences shape connection and coping. He also works with a range of related concerns, including abandonment and attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, communication and control difficulties, and complex aspects of sexuality such as BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture.

He practices from a framework of Transactional Analysis - a way of exploring life scripts, habitual communication patterns, and core beliefs so clients can identify what to change and why. Hasan sees his role as walking alongside each person, offering support and tools while recognizing the client as the expert in their own life. He contributes articles and reflections on therapy topics on his website at www.aynatherapies.co.uk and holds professional credentials including BACP and NCPS - BACP being the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a UK professional counselling body, and NCPS a recognised credential in counselling and psychotherapy practice.
