Therapeutic approaches and online support
Helen integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into her work, helping clients clarify personal values and learn practical ways to live alongside difficult thoughts and feelings rather than being driven by them. This approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.Attachment-Based Therapy is also a key part of her practice, focusing on how early relationships shape current patterns in intimacy and trust. It supports people working through relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns, and attachment issues by exploring relational dynamics and building more secure ways of relating.
Helen draws on client-centered principles too, offering an empathic, non-judgemental space where clients lead the pace and focus of sessions. This foundation supports work on self-esteem, grief, and emotional processing.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Helen works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Registered professionals and therapists tailor methods so clients feel involved in that choice.
Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for busy schedules and for those outside the local area. These options make it easier to arrange consistent sessions, access support from wherever you are, and adapt communication styles to what feels most comfortable for each client.
