Background and approach
She describes herself as a creative therapist and draws on a variety of ways to work, choosing methods that suit each person. Sessions are for adults and for couples who want to work through shared concerns. In sessions she helps people explore patterns that keep them stuck, such as attachment or control issues.
She also supports people facing life transitions, parenting stresses, career decisions, bereavement and the emotional impact of trauma. Work can include talking, reflective exercises and practical coping strategies chosen together. Helen has five years of practice experience and works with issues including self-esteem, codependency, blended family problems, fertility and fatherhood issues, and first responder concerns.
She also addresses eating and hoarding difficulties where these affect daily life. Therapy is tailored to the person’s goals and pace. Helen aims to create a respectful, non-judgemental space where people can try out new ways of thinking and behaving.
Appointments are scheduled during her daytime and some evening hours in the United Kingdom.
How Helen’s approaches work online
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape patterns in adult life. Online sessions use conversation to notice these patterns and try new emotional responses, which can help with relationship difficulties and abandonment issues.Client-centred practice means the counselling focuses on the person’s experience and goals. The therapist listens without judgement and helps the client clarify what matters to them, useful for building self-esteem and navigating life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Helen will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit the client’s needs, goals and preferences. This shared planning can change as therapy progresses and new priorities emerge.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier on busy days. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, immediate reflection and regular support between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and travel.
