More about Helen

8 years' experience
Female
BACP

I’m a licensed therapist based in the UK with over 8 years of professional experience supporting individuals through life’s most challenging moments. I specialize in helping clients manage stress and anxiety, navigate relationship difficulties, heal from trauma and abuse, and cope with grief and loss. I also support clients with building motivation, improving self-esteem, and developing lasting confidence.

My approach is rooted in respect, compassion, and genuine human connection. I believe that therapy should feel safe, collaborative, and tailored entirely to you. No two people are the same, so our conversations and treatment plan will be designed to reflect your unique needs, goals, and pace.

Starting therapy can feel like a big and sometimes daunting step—but it’s also a powerful one. If you’re here, it means you’ve already begun. I’m here to walk alongside you as you explore, heal, and grow.

About online counseling

Affordable.: Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.: Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.: There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
