Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Helen uses attachment-based therapy to explore how early relationships influence current patterns of relating and emotional responses, helping clients who struggle with abandonment, attachment issues, or difficulties forming close connections. Trauma-focused therapy is offered to address the emotional and behavioural impact of traumatic events, with practical techniques to reduce reactivity and process painful memories. Client-centered therapy forms the foundation of her work, prioritising empathy, active listening, and collaboration so that clients feel heard and can take the lead in setting goals and pace of work.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Helen works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting her style as therapy progresses to ensure the best fit.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to arrange appointments around work, family, and other commitments. These options increase accessibility for people who prefer remote support and allow continuity of care when attending in person is difficult, while still enabling meaningful, goal-focused therapeutic work with registered professionals.
