About Helen

Helen Damisa is a UK-licensed therapist with six years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, family conflict, and experiences of trauma and abuse. She combines practical skills with a compassionate approach to help clients explore difficult thoughts and feelings and to identify ways forward that feel manageable and meaningful.

Working collaboratively, she creates an open, nonjudgmental space where emotions and experiences can be shared honestly. Helen values each person’s courage in reaching out for support and aims to make the first steps into therapy feel respected and understood. Her approach focuses on helping people build resilience, improve communication in relationships, and process painful events at a pace that suits them.

Helen holds BACP accreditation, which means she is affiliated with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counselling practitioners in the United Kingdom. She is committed to ongoing learning and to tailoring support to the individual needs of each client.

Therapeutic Approaches for Effective Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then to clarify personal values and take committed steps toward a meaningful life; it is often helpful for stress, anxiety, and chronic emotional challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and helps people and families rebuild trust, improve communication, and address issues like abandonment or attachment difficulties. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and learning practical strategies to change them, which can be especially useful for anxiety, stress, and mood-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Helen works collaboratively with each person to identify methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts strategies from different approaches as the relationship and outcomes evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, to access support from locations outside major centres, and to continue care across time zones. Licensed professionals can deliver meaningful, goal-focused work through these formats while tailoring pace and technique to each client’s situation.
