About Damla
Damla Palit is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family problems, trauma and abuse, and depression. Sessions are offered in English and Turkish.
Damla approaches therapy from a person-focused position. She treats clients as the expert on their own story and builds conversations around their strengths. In practice this means she listens first, then helps people try different ways of thinking and coping when needed.
She combines client-centred work with cognitive behavioural ideas to tackle unhelpful thoughts and patterns. Mindfulness techniques are used to help with overwhelming emotion and to build attention to the present moment. She also draws on psychodynamic thinking to look at how past relationships can shape current reactions.
Sessions aim to be practical and grounded. People might bring examples from work, study or home life and use sessions to plan small experiments or new ways of communicating. Damla supports exploration of attachment, abandonment, caregiving stress, blended family issues and family of origin problems among other concerns.
Her background includes work across common mental health and relational difficulties, including coping after natural or human-caused disaster and experiences of domestic violence. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before booking a first session.
How her therapeutic approaches work online
Damla uses client-centred work which focuses on listening and supporting the person’s own goals and strengths. This approach helps when someone wants to make sense of their feelings and set personal priorities for change.She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT is practical and can help with anxiety, low mood and unhelpful patterns in relationships. Mindfulness techniques are used alongside these methods to build attention and reduce overwhelm during stressful times.
Choosing the right approach is part of how she works. Damla will discuss options with each person and decide together what to try based on needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change over time as different strategies are tested.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around study, work and other commitments, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework to work well in remote appointments.
