Damla Palit
Supportive counsellor for relationship and trauma issues
About Damla
Damla Palit is a counsellor who focuses on helping people facing relationship strain, family tension, grief, trauma and abuse, depression, stress and anxiety. She works in English and Turkish and practices from the United Kingdom. Her style centres on listening and building on each person's strengths so they can take steps toward greater wellbeing.
She sees people as experts in their own lives and treats sessions as a collaborative space.
Background and approach
Conversations aim to clarify what matters most, find small practical steps, and test what helps in day-to-day life. This makes the work feel practical and grounded rather than distant or abstract. Palit draws on client-centred work to keep the focus on the person's experience.
She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot patterns of thought and behaviour that keep problems going. Mindfulness is used to strengthen present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity when stress or painful memories arise. Her approach is adaptable to different concerns.
For family or relationship difficulties she helps people improve communication and set clearer boundaries. For trauma, grief or depression she offers steady, paced support so someone can process hard emotions without being overwhelmed. With three years of experience and the NCPS credential, she combines practical techniques with attentive listening.
People who prefer conversation that is straightforward, respectful and focused on real-life changes may find her approach helpful.

How Damla's Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the work. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is heard, and helps the person make choices that feel right for them. This approach is useful when someone needs a steady, empathetic space to talk through relationship strain or family worries.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, known as CBT, looks at unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns. Sessions teach practical strategies to test and change those patterns, which can reduce anxiety, low mood and stress. CBT tasks and short experiments can be done between sessions and discussed online.
Finding the right method is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will ask about goals, daily routines and what has or hasn’t worked before, then adapt techniques to suit the person's needs and preferences. That collaborative planning helps ensure the work stays relevant and doable.
Online sessions offer flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when tone and body language matter. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier for quick check-ins. Live chat or text messaging suit shorter updates or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue work from different places.
