About Helen

Helen Fox works on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression and related concerns using a person-centred approach. She is a BACP member and has four years' experience working with adults and young people in the South East of England.

Helen uses a person-centred way of working that focuses on what matters to the individual. Sessions are conversational and aimed at helping people notice patterns, try new ways of coping, and develop practical tools for day-to-day living. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment ideas and mindfulness to help with emotional regulation and clearer decision making.

Her caseload has included grief, addiction, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger and career concerns. She also works with people dealing with bipolar mood swings, ADHD, compassion fatigue and blended family challenges. Helen lists additional focus areas such as abandonment, attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image and chronic illness concerns.

Sessions commonly involve talking through current difficulties, looking at patterns in relationships, and practicing simple mindfulness or acceptance exercises in session. Helen aims to help people build manageable skills they can use between appointments, and to clarify what matters to them when making choices.

She works weekdays between 9.00am and 6.45pm and usually replies to messages within one working day. Messages received at the weekend will be answered the next working day, and she is typically not available on UK public holidays.

Approaches used in online counselling and what they involve

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and on choosing actions that match a person's values; it can help with anxiety, low mood and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people improve communication and emotional closeness. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a respectful, non-directive conversation where the counsellor listens and reflects so the person can find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Helen will talk with the person about their goals and preferences, and they will decide collaboratively which methods to use in sessions. That helps shape practical steps and exercises to try between appointments.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online counselling can make sessions easier to fit around work, study or family time, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use methods like guided mindfulness exercises and values-based tasks from wherever they are able to join the session.
