About Helen

Helen Greenaway works on anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, and life changes using talking therapy and coaching techniques. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years' experience.

Helen helps people who feel overwhelmed by worry or who doubt themselves at work. She supports those who struggle to set boundaries, who replay events at night, or who find sleep difficult because of overthinking. She also works with people navigating ADHD-related emotional overwhelm and rejection sensitivity dysphoria (RSD).

In sessions she listens in a client-centred way, helping people put words to what matters to them. She uses cognitive behavioural methods to spot and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at past experiences that shape current feelings and behaviour.

Helen offers practical tools alongside reflective conversation. That can mean short, solution-focused tasks between sessions or looking at recurring relationship and communication patterns in more depth. The aim is to help people try different ways of coping and to notice what changes work for them.

Her approach is straightforward and conversational. Helen works in English and practises in the United Kingdom. She combines therapeutic listening with coaching elements to support clearer decisions about work, parenting, and personal goals.

How her approaches work in online counselling

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person speaking and their perspective, with the counsellor reflecting and helping the client clarify what matters. This approach supports issues such as low self-esteem, relationship concerns and decisions about life direction.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. It is often used for worry, sleep problems linked to overthinking, and practical coping strategies for stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Helen will discuss needs, goals and preferences with the client and agree together which methods to try. That collaborative process may shift over time as practical tasks or deeper exploration are added.

Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography listed video call, phone and messenger as ways to connect but did not specify further details. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, parenting and other commitments, and they allow different session styles such as shorter check-ins or longer reflective sessions depending on what suits the client.
