About Damla
Counsellor Damla Palit is a member of NCPS and has three years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and depression. Sessions are offered in English and Turkish.
Damla uses straightforward talking therapy methods. She treats the person in front of her as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on. Conversations focus on practical steps, clearer thinking, and understanding patterns that cause pain.
Her work often mixes client-centred listening with ways to change unhelpful thinking and attention to past experiences that shape current life. That can mean looking at how attachment and abandonment issues influence relationships, or how family of origin problems affect mood and behaviour. She also supports people coping with grief, caregiver stress, blended family concerns and separation.
Sessions are conversational and aim to help people notice small changes they can try between meetings. Damla may introduce mindfulness exercises to reduce anxiety and simple cognitive strategies to manage low mood or intrusive thoughts. She adapts the pace to what each person can manage.
Clients can expect clear explanations about the approaches used and an opportunity to set goals together. To start, people choose the See online counselling options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How her approaches are used in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and showing respect for the person’s own view of their life. It helps people talk through difficult feelings and make decisions for themselves. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical techniques to reduce anxiety and low mood. It is useful for stress, panic and persistent negative thinking.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Damla will discuss different methods and agree what to try together. She asks about goals and what feels manageable, and adapts the way of working as sessions progress so it fits the person’s needs and preferences.
The biography does not state specific session formats. Please confirm current session options before booking. In general, online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work or caring duties, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to use audio-only conversations if they prefer less screen time. Registered or accredited professionals can offer these practical benefits while helping clients apply CBT, mindfulness exercises and client-centred talking in day-to-day life.
