Damla Palit welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain or grief. She introduces herself plainly and aims to create a calm space where someone can talk through what matters most. Damla works in English and Turkish and brings three years of experience supporting people through difficult life moments.

She believes the client is the expert in their own story and looks for strengths to build on.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer ways to respond to tough situations. That might mean noticing unhelpful thinking patterns, practising grounding and breath techniques, or looking at how past experiences shape current relationships. Damla uses a mix of approaches including client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness practices.

She adapts these to each person's needs and pace rather than following a single formula. Conversations are steady and collaborative, aimed at small changes that add up over time. Her background includes work with relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and emotional stress.

She also pays attention to attachment and abandonment issues, communication difficulties and the effects of separation or blended family situations. Those practical areas guide how she frames goals and steps in sessions. People can expect a straightforward, down-to-earth style that emphasises understanding and achievable coping strategies.

Damla supports people in exploring what matters, taking steps they can manage, and noticing progress along the way.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Damla often draws on client-centred therapy, where the focus is on listening and reflecting what is important to the person. This approach helps people feel understood and guides the conversation around their goals and priorities.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, a practical approach that looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. CBT can help when anxiety, low mood or unhelpful patterns are getting in the way of daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Damla will help clients try different ways of working and agree what feels most useful based on goals and preferences. That collaborative process means the method can change as progress is made.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for a fuller conversation and non-verbal cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows quicker check-ins, and messaging suits short updates or ongoing reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments while keeping the focus on steady progress.
