About Helen

Helen Ridlington-White is a psychotherapist with 28 years' experience. She trained in child development and counselling and brings a broad, integrative approach to her work. She offers sessions online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging depending on what suits each person best.

She has worked in the NHS and continues to offer supervision to students and professionals. That background gives her experience with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, grief and depression, as well as trauma and abuse.

Background and approach

Helen also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy issues, parenting challenges, addiction and compassion fatigue. Sessions are practical and conversational. Clients can explore feelings, past patterns and current behaviour at a pace that feels manageable.

Helen can include creative arts or artistic self-expression when that helps someone to access difficult material. Her methods draw on client-centred listening, psychodynamic thinking, Jungian ideas about symbols, mindfulness techniques and some dialectical behaviour therapy skills. Helen aims to help people deepen self-understanding and make changes that fit their life.

She has experience working with neurodiversity and adoption or foster care backgrounds, and she attends to attachment issues and women's concerns. Helen works with people facing midlife changes, questions about life purpose, and challenges such as somatisation and low self-esteem. Sessions are offered in English and are available to international clients.

Costs vary with location and are managed via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Helen's approaches work online

Helen uses client-centred therapy in a way that focuses on listening and following each person's pace. This approach helps people feel heard and guides conversations about current concerns and choices.

She also draws on dialectical behaviour therapy skills to teach practical strategies for managing intense emotions and building coping skills. These tools can be useful for anxiety, anger and stress when someone needs clear steps to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Helen will talk through your needs, goals and preferences and suggest ways of combining methods. The choice of methods is collaborative and can change as you make progress.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy flexible. Video allows face-to-face interaction for longer therapy work. Phone calls may be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging suit brief reflections, daily notes or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options help fit therapy into busy lives and different routines.
