About Helen
Helen Newman is a counsellor who helps people manage anxiety, stress and relationship struggles. She works with adults on problems such as grief, low self-esteem, addiction and depression. Helen aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can speak openly and feel heard.
She has five years of clinical experience and has provided over 1000 hours of one-to-one counselling. That work has covered trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strain and intimacy-related issues.
Background and approach
Helen also supports people dealing with career pressures, major life changes and isolation and loneliness. Helen uses a person-centred way of working that puts the client’s priorities first. Sessions may look at past experiences, current difficulties or plans for the future, depending on what each person needs.
She adapts methods to fit the individual rather than using a fixed formula. Her approach draws on cognitive and psychodynamic ideas alongside hypnotherapy techniques to offer practical ways to cope and reflect. Conversations often focus on building insight, reducing unhelpful patterns and developing daily coping strategies.
People are encouraged to move at their own pace and to set goals that matter to them. Helen describes therapy as a collaborative process where small, steady changes add up to a clearer sense of direction and greater confidence.
How Helens approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the persons perspective. The counsellor follows the clients lead, offers empathy and helps the person find their own solutions; this works well for anxiety, low self-worth and relationship worries.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for stress, sleeping problems and panic.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Helen will discuss different methods and agree on a plan together based on each persons goals and preferences. That means sessions can shift between talking, practical tasks and reflective work as needed.
Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls let people read non-verbal cues and have fuller conversations, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier for shorter check-ins, and live chat or text messaging suits quick reflections or those who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on steady progress.
