Damla Palit

Damla Palit is a counsellor who helps people feeling lonely, overwhelmed or stuck. She works with those dealing with relationship strain, family conflict, grief, depression, stress and anxiety. She speaks English and Turkish and practises from the United Kingdom. Damla holds an NCPS credential and has three years of experience supporting people through difficult periods.

She starts by listening to each person's story and recognising their strengths. Damla believes clients are the experts on their own lives and aims to create a calm space to talk things through. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and on small, doable steps that feel manageable.

Damla draws on client-centred ideas to build trust and use practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy to notice unhelpful thinking patterns. She also brings mindfulness techniques to help with overwhelming feelings and uses elements of psychodynamic thinking when people want to look at how past relationships affect current ones.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns including abandonment and attachment issues, caregiver stress, blended family problems, communication difficulties, and coping after separation or domestic violence. She also supports people affected by trauma, emptiness or the fallout from natural or human-caused disasters.

People who choose Damla can expect straightforward, steady support. She helps clients set clear priorities, practise new ways of coping and review progress together. To begin, clients follow the platform steps to match and schedule a first session.

Approaches used in online counselling and what to expect

Damla commonly uses client-centred therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy as part of her work. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening carefully and following the client's lead so they can feel heard and understood; it can help people who need a non-judgemental space to talk about loneliness or family strain. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and offers practical techniques to test and change unhelpful thinking, which is often useful for anxiety, depression and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which combination of methods fits their goals, needs and preferences. That collaborative exploration can be adjusted as progress is reviewed over time.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and the chance to keep appointments when travel or other commitments make in-person meetings hard. The platform uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, so scheduling and continuity are managed through that system. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available and which will fit your routine.
