Damla Palit, NCPS

Damla Palit helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood and difficult relationship or family issues. She meets people where they are and focuses on what matters most to them. Damla speaks English and Turkish and practises from the United Kingdom. Damla holds an NCPS credential and has three years of clinical experience.

She works with people affected by trauma, abuse and grief as well as those dealing with everyday strains like communication problems, caregiver stress and the fallout of separation. She also supports people facing attachment concerns, abandonment worries, and challenges linked to autism or avoidant personality patterns.

Her approach combines client-centred listening with techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness. Sessions make space for the client to tell their story while also looking at thoughts and habits that keep problems going. Practical steps and small experiments are often used between sessions to test what helps.

Damla also draws on psychodynamic ideas to understand long-standing patterns that affect relationships and self‑image. This helps when there is a sense of emptiness, repeating arguments, or a painful family background that keeps resurfacing.

She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability. The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

How Damla uses talking therapies online

Client-Centred Therapy is about listening and following the client's lead. The therapist creates space for people to tell their story and helps them find their own solutions, which is useful for relational and emotional concerns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours. This approach suits anxiety, depression and stress by offering clear steps to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Damla will discuss different methods with the client and decide together which fits best based on needs, goals and personal preference. That collaborative process means plans can change as progress is made or new issues emerge.

Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to make it easier to fit sessions into daily life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be quicker when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging lets people write when it suits them. These options help people access support with more flexibility, whatever their schedule or daily commitments.
