Damla Palit, NCPS

Damla Palit is a counsellor who supports people dealing with relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, stress and anxiety. She works from the view that each person knows their own story best and brings strengths to face difficult moments. She frames the first step towards change as an act of courage and offers steady support through that process.

Damla draws on several talking‑therapy approaches to tailor sessions to a person’s needs. She blends client‑centred listening with practical steps from cognitive behavioural therapy and reflective ideas from psychodynamic and mindfulness work. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what practical changes might help day to day.

With three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom, Damla has worked with people affected by family problems, relationship breakdown, and loss. She also supports those coping with attachment wounds, abandonment fears, caregiver stress and issues linked to autism and avoidant personality traits. Sessions aim to be straightforward and grounded in what matters to the client.

Damla works in English and Turkish, and her NCPS credential is listed as her professional qualification. She sees therapy as a collaborative process and helps clients set realistic goals. If someone wants to explore how therapy might fit their life, she offers a calm, respectful space to begin that work.

How Damla’s approaches shape online work

Client‑centred therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead. It aims to create space for people to tell their story and identify their own solutions, which can help with relationship and family difficulties.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, brings practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. This can be useful for anxiety, stress and low mood by breaking problems into manageable actions.

Mindfulness practice offers simple attention exercises that calm the mind and reduce reactivity. These techniques often pair well with talking work when managing overwhelming feelings.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works with each person to decide which methods feel most helpful, adapting as goals and needs change. That decision is collaborative and revisited as therapy progresses.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions around work or caring duties and making it easier to attend from different locations. If you are considering therapy, confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Registered or accredited professionals can then help arrange times that suit your routine and commitments.
