About Damla

Damla Palit helps people work through relationship problems, family difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, stress and anxiety. She uses a person-centred view, believing people are the experts on their own story. Damla is registered with NCPS and has three years' experience in the United Kingdom.

In sessions Damla listens to what matters most and works from the client’s concerns. She draws on client-centred practice to prioritise the person's perspective. She may also use cognitive behavioural techniques to look at unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.

She includes mindfulness approaches to help with emotion regulation and grounding in stressful moments. At times she also considers psychodynamic ideas about how past relationships can influence current patterns. These approaches are used to help people notice patterns and try new ways of coping.

Damla has worked with people affected by abandonment, attachment difficulties and family of origin issues. She has experience supporting people dealing with divorce and separation, blended family challenges, caregiver stress and communication problems. She has also supported people affected by domestic violence and other forms of trauma.

She is able to work in English and Turkish. Damla aims to set clear, practical aims with each person and reviews progress over time. Prospective clients are encouraged to confirm session options and scheduling details before booking.

How her approaches work in online counselling

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's perspective and encourages them to lead the topics in session; it is useful for people who want space to make sense of their own experience. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) works on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, often useful for anxiety, stress and depression. Mindfulness therapy involves simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. Sessions can adapt over time as priorities change and progress is reviewed together.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or travel by reducing the need to commute. It also allows shorter check-ins if needed, and can make it simpler to access support when usual routines are busy.
