Step 3
How Helen’s approaches translate to online counselling
Helen uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters to them and take small steps towards those values. ACT focuses on practical actions and accepting difficult thoughts rather than fighting them, which can help with anxiety, depression and life transitions.Attachment-based work looks at patterns in relationships and emotional needs. This approach helps people understand recurring difficulties in how they connect with others and supports changes in how they communicate and set boundaries.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and Helen approaches this collaboratively. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest which methods are likely to fit best. Goals are reviewed and adapted as work continues so the approach stays relevant.
Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not detailed here. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when days are tight. It also means people can keep continuity of care if they move or travel, and sessions can be scheduled around work or caregiving commitments.
