About Damla
Damla starts by listening to each person's story and priorities. She believes the client is the expert on their life and looks for strengths to build on. Early sessions focus on understanding what matters most and setting small, practical steps to reduce stress and improve day-to-day coping.
Her approach blends straightforward talking therapy with tools to change unhelpful thoughts and calm the body. She uses client-centred conversations to follow what the person needs in the moment. Damla also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot thinking patterns and mindfulness techniques to manage overwhelming feelings.
People come to Damla for help with attachment or abandonment worries, blended family issues, communication breakdowns and the emotional aftermath of domestic violence or separation. She also works with those dealing with emptiness, forgiveness, bereavement and the ongoing impact of past family problems.
Sessions are aimed at practical progress rather than labels. Damla supports people to try new ways of coping, review what helps, and adjust plans as life changes. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then to schedule sessions according to her availability.

Therapeutic approaches for online support
Damla uses client-centred work to follow each person's priorities and pace, helping them feel heard and make decisions that fit their life. Client-centred Therapy focuses on listening, building trust and drawing out the client's own solutions, which can be useful for relationship and family concerns.She also applies Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to identify patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going. CBT offers practical exercises and short experiments to reduce anxiety, manage low mood and address unhelpful reactions after trauma or separation.
Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Damla treats this as a shared task. She will discuss goals, try different techniques, and adjust plans together based on what helps most for your situation and preferences.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact session formats before booking as they are not stated here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins on difficult days. It can also let people use audio or video in ways that suit their comfort and daily routines.
