Helen Damisa

Helen Damisa welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or relationship strain. She aims to make first steps feel manageable and recognises courage is needed to seek help. Helen writes simply and directly, so conversations stay focused on what matters to each person.

Helen uses a mix of practical talking and skills-based work. She listens first, and then helps people notice patterns in thought and feeling. From there she supports small, achievable changes that fit day-to-day life. Sessions are intended to be a space for honest conversation without judgement.

With six years of experience, Helen has supported people through trauma and abuse, family conflict and bereavement. She also works with those facing issues linked to adoption and foster care, attachment difficulties, autism and care-related stress. Her background includes work with long-term physical illness and other overlapping challenges.

Her therapeutic approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural tools and elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. Helen adapts these methods to the person in front of her rather than using a single fixed model.

She offers a collaborative style that focuses on what someone wants to change. Helen helps set small goals and practical steps that fit into everyday routines. If you want to explore next steps she asks people to complete a short questionnaire to begin the process and arrange an initial session.

How Helen’s approaches work for online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose values-based action despite them. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and grief by shifting focus towards meaningful daily steps. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current connections and helps people practise different ways of relating to others and themselves. Client-Centred Therapy offers a straightforward space where the therapist listens without judgment and follows the person's priorities, which can help people feel heard and make sense of their experiences.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Helen will help you decide which of these ways of working fits your needs and goals. That choice is collaborative and may change as you try things and see what helps.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people join from wherever they are living, which can be helpful for international clients. Registered and accredited professionals and therapists often adapt exercises and tools so they work well over distance and in everyday life.
