Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Helen works with client-centred therapy, which places the person at the heart of the process and focuses on empathetic listening and unconditional acceptance to help people explore their feelings and build self-awareness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and can be helpful for issues such as anxiety, low mood and stress. Helen also offers hypnotherapy as a focused, relaxed approach that can support habit change, anxiety management and confidence work when appropriate.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Helen takes a collaborative stance, working with each person to decide which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. The plan can be reviewed and adjusted as therapy progresses.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexible ways to access support without the need to travel. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments, and allow registered professionals to deliver consistent therapeutic support across different settings.
