Helen Greenaway , BACP

Helen Greenaway is a psychotherapist and coach with four years of clinical experience who works with people dealing with anxiety, low self-esteem and life transitions. She is accredited with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which signals training and membership of a recognised professional body. Helen specialises in helping clients reduce persistent worry, build confidence and shift unhelpful patterns that keep them feeling stuck.

Many of the people she supports are high-functioning outwardly but struggle internally with constant fear of making mistakes, imposter syndrome at work, difficulty setting boundaries, night-time overthinking and disturbed sleep. She also works with emotional overwhelm and rejection sensitivity dysphoria that can accompany ADHD. Helen creates a space for reflection so clients can explore what is happening, process difficult feelings and consider different ways forward.

Helen recognises the courage it takes to seek support and emphasises that therapy can be helpful whether someone is in crisis or simply looking for growth. She offers sessions by video call, phone or messenger and aims to respond within 24 hours; clients are advised to check spam or junk folders if they do not see an email. Helen looks forward to speaking with prospective clients and exploring how to work together.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Helen draws on Client-Centered Therapy to build a warm, non-judgmental space where clients lead the conversation and feel heard. This approach is helpful for exploring self-esteem, relationship concerns and life transitions by focusing on the person's own goals and experiences.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT is practical and problem-focused, and can be effective for anxiety, low mood, sleep difficulties and managing stress.

Helen views the choice of approach as a collaborative process - she will work with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, and can adapt the work as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Helen is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, giving flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life circumstances. These options make it easier to access support from home or work while maintaining continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible.
