About Helen
Her core modality is client-centered therapy, also known as the person-centred approach, which places the individual’s perspective and strengths at the centre of the work. She draws on elements from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and attachment-based methods to shape a tailored plan that fits each person's needs. Helen believes people are the experts in their own stories and that building on existing strengths helps them move through difficult moments. She emphasizes collaboration, practical steps, and an empathic, nonjudgmental stance to support clients as they pursue meaningful change.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed action toward what matters, while learning practical ways to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings; it is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and early bonds, exploring how those dynamics influence current connections and helping people build more secure ways of relating. Client-centered therapy, also called the person-centred approach, centers the individual's experience and strengths, offering empathic listening and collaboration to support personal growth and decision making.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Helen works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative evaluation helps shape a personalised plan that may combine elements from different approaches to address specific concerns.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy lives or to connect across distances. Working remotely enables consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists while allowing clients to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for them.
