About Helen

Helen Howett is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and the effects of trauma and abuse. She works with adults on relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, grief, career changes and self-esteem. Helen aims to give a calm, listening space where clients can talk frankly and begin to sort out what matters most to them.

She trained in related fields and holds NCPS as a credential, which appears alongside five years of practical experience.

Background and approach

Her background includes medical science and childhood and youth studies, which she draws on to understand life stages and everyday pressures. Sessions are organised around straightforward conversation and practical steps that clients can use between meetings. Helen uses attachment-based and client-centred approaches to help people understand patterns in relationships and to build more helpful ways of relating.

She also uses mindfulness techniques to help manage overwhelming feelings and psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape current behaviour. These methods are used in everyday language with clear goals set together.

Her work often focuses on issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency, blended family challenges, divorce and separation, fatherhood issues, fertility concerns, hoarding and problems around control or commitment. Helen also supports people dealing with eating and food-related concerns and first responder issues. Sessions are offered in English and Helen accepts international clients.

Therapy is delivered online through a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to pair clients and schedule sessions.

How Helen’s approaches work online

Helen uses attachment-based work to help people notice how early relationships affect current connections. This approach is useful for concerns about abandonment, attachment issues and improving how people relate to partners and family.

She also uses client-centred methods that put the person's experience at the centre of sessions. That means the counsellor listens deeply, follows what matters most to the client, and helps them set small, achievable goals.

Finding the best approach is part of the therapy process. Helen will talk with clients about their needs and preferences and together they will choose or adjust methods as therapy progresses. This is a collaborative process aimed at practical steps and clearer understanding.

Online sessions offer flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, phone sessions work well when less bandwidth is needed, live chat can suit short check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options let people pick the format that fits their schedule and comfort while working toward their goals.
