Helen Damisa , BACP

Helen Damisa is a UK-licensed therapist with six years of professional experience who supports people navigating stress, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, and grief. She works with adults from a compassionate, nonjudgmental stance, helping clients name their concerns and explore practical ways to feel more grounded and connected. Helen holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her professional standing within the United Kingdom.

She creates an open therapeutic environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared honestly and without blame. Her approach is collaborative, encouraging clients to take the lead on the issues that matter most to them while she offers structure, listening, and tools drawn from established therapeutic methods. Helen also brings experience addressing related concerns such as attachment difficulties, adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, body image, chronic illness and pain, and communication and commitment problems.

Taking the first step toward therapy can take real courage, and Helen aims to make that step feel welcomed and understood. She is currently accepting clients in the United Kingdom and internationally, offering sessions that adapt to each person’s needs and availability.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Helen integrates practical, collaborative therapies to help clients make meaningful changes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and learning skills to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking committed action toward what matters. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and situations where avoidance has become limiting.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships to understand how those patterns influence current connections and emotional responses. This approach can help with relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns, and family conflict by rebuilding a sense of safety and trust in relationships.

Helen treats the choice of approach as a collaborative part of therapy. She works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and practical needs, and then recommends or adapts methods that best fit the client’s situation. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine techniques so the work remains flexible and tailored.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy lives or limited local options. Video calls and phone sessions recreate face-to-face conversation, while live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter, more flexible ways to connect. These options make it easier to fit consistent therapeutic work into daily life and to maintain continuity of care across locations.
