Helen Damisa, BACP

Helen Damisa welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strains, grief or the fallout from trauma and abuse. She offers a calm, approachable presence and aims to make it easier to talk about difficult feelings. Helen uses everyday language and practical steps so conversations feel straightforward and useful.

She focuses on listening first and helping people notice what matters most to them. From there she works collaboratively to set small, achievable goals. Sessions often include practical tools for managing intense emotions and for improving communication in close relationships.

Helen has six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and is a BACP member. She draws on several approaches to match the work to each person's needs, rather than applying one fixed method.

She commonly supports people dealing with attachment difficulties, abandonment worries, body image concerns, chronic illness and caregiver stress, and challenges related to adoption and foster care. Helen also works with issues such as codependency, commitment anxieties, and communication problems.

Her style is warm and down-to-earth. She aims to create an open space where people can speak honestly and experiment with new ways of coping. If you are unsure what to expect, a short matching questionnaire helps clarify fit before scheduling a first appointment.

How Helen's approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and commitment worries. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and helps people try new ways of connecting and trusting. Client-Centred Therapy centres on warm, non-judgemental listening to help people find their own solutions and feel understood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Helen aims to discuss options with each person and decide together which methods fit their goals and day-to-day life. That collaborative process makes room to try techniques and adapt them if something does not feel helpful.

Please confirm available session formats before booking because specific options were not stated in the biography. In general, online counselling can make it easier to attend from different locations, fit sessions around work or caregiving, and use shorter check-ins when time is limited. It can also allow people to use audio-only meetings when bandwidth is low or to choose video when seeing facial cues matters. These practical benefits can help people maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy into everyday life.
