About Helen

Helen Newman is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and relationship difficulties. She works with adults on issues like self-esteem, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, anger and coping with life changes. Helen uses a calm, listening approach so clients can feel heard and begin to make sense of how they feel.

She has five years of clinical experience and has delivered more than 1000 hours of therapeutic sessions.

Background and approach

Her background combines different viewpoints rather than one single method, so sessions can adapt to what each person needs in the moment. Helen keeps the pace gentle and lets the client lead the conversation when that helps. Practice often moves between looking at past experiences, current challenges and plans for the future.

She draws on client-centred work to build trust and on psychodynamic ideas to notice patterns that repeat. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy tools are used when practical changes or new coping skills are needed. Helen also integrates hypnotherapy where appropriate to support relaxation and focus.

She explains approaches clearly and checks what feels useful for each person. The emphasis is on small, achievable steps rather than quick fixes. Her aim is to support people to feel more able to manage difficult feelings and to make choices that suit their lives.

Helen encourages self-understanding and practical progress, and she works alongside clients as they take steps towards change.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Helen’s approaches work online

Helen uses client-centred work online to create a listening, non-judgemental space where the person sets the pace and topics. This approach helps when someone needs time to talk things through and feel understood before making changes.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying practical steps to change them. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and coping strategies for daily stress.

Finding the best approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist discusses options, explains what each method involves, and adapts the plan to match a client's goals and preferences. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so the work stays relevant and useful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good for a fuller conversation and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging works for short check-ins or when people prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work and family routines and to keep contact between sessions when that is helpful.
