About Helen

Helen Damisa is a UK-licensed therapist with six years of professional experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflict and experiences of trauma and abuse. She approaches each client with calm attention and practical care, helping individuals to name their concerns and explore what matters to them in a way that feels manageable.

Helen creates an open, non-judgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared honestly. She encourages clients to take small, courageous steps toward change and works collaboratively to identify goals and strategies that fit each person’s life. Helen holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her commitment to professional standards in counselling practice.

Beginning therapy can feel challenging, and Helen acknowledges the courage involved in reaching out. She aims to make the process accessible and supportive, guiding clients as they work through immediate concerns and build skills for longer-term wellbeing.

Approaches Helen Uses in Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take values-based actions to build a more meaningful life - it is often helpful for anxiety, stress, and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding how early relationships shape current patterns in connections and emotions, which can be useful for relationship difficulties, family conflict, and attachment concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and reframe unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and is commonly used for anxiety, stress, and trauma-related symptoms.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself, and Helen collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques from different approaches as required and checks in regularly to ensure the plan remains helpful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and options such as live chat or ongoing text-based messaging allow support between appointments. This range of formats helps clients access consistent care that fits their schedule and comfort level while working with licensed professionals and therapists trained in these approaches.
