About Damla
Damla Palit is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain and family conflict. She also supports those coping with trauma, abuse and depression. She speaks English and Turkish and practises in the United Kingdom. Damla presents a calm, straightforward manner and encourages people to see their own strengths when they take the first step towards change.
Damla works from the belief that each person knows their story best. She aims to make sessions a space for listening and for practical conversation. That might mean talking through recent events, thinking about patterns that keep repeating, or testing small changes to daily routines. The focus is on real, manageable steps rather than complex jargon.
Her approach draws on several well-known methods. Client-Centred Therapy means she follows the person’s pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try alternative ways of thinking. Mindfulness techniques help people notice thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them.
With three years of experience and the NCPS credential, Damla has worked with a range of concerns such as attachment difficulties, abandonment, blended family issues, caregiving stress and communication problems. She will explain how an approach fits the concern you bring and adapt sessions as needed.
People usually start by answering a short questionnaire and then arranging a suitable time. Damla aims to support each person in finding clearer ways of coping and feeling more settled in daily life.
How her approaches translate to online support
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on following the person’s lead. In practice this means the counsellor listens carefully, asks what matters most to the client, and shapes sessions around those priorities. This approach can help with relationship issues, family strain and grief by creating space for personal reflection.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, involves spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different ways of thinking and behaving. It is often used for anxiety, depression and stress, and can include short exercises or behavioural experiments between sessions to try in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, then suggest ways of working that match those aims. That decision is made collaboratively and can change as progress and needs evolve.

It also allows for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight and for using mindfulness or CBT exercises between meetings to keep momentum.
