About Helen
BACP. Helen Greenaway has four years' experience as a counsellor working in the United Kingdom. She works with people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, low self-esteem, overthinking and life changes. Helen offers counselling and coaching to help clients manage worry, sleep problems and relationship issues in straightforward terms.
Helen uses a mix of client-centred, cognitive behavioural, psychodynamic and solution-focused approaches. She helps people spot unhelpful patterns such as imposter syndrome, rejection sensitivity related to ADHD, and difficulty setting boundaries. Sessions are conversational and aim to clarify problems and identify practical steps forward.
Many clients she describes working with are high-functioning but struggling internally with constant worry, self-doubt at work, or night-time overthinking. Helen also supports people coping with career stress, parenting pressures, and compassion fatigue. She addresses issues around intimacy, communication problems, and commitment worries.
Her background includes short-term coaching work alongside longer counselling. Helen combines talking therapies with focused techniques from CBT and solution-focused work to tackle specific symptoms such as sleep disruption or anxiety. Psychodynamic ideas are used to look at repeated patterns and emotional roots where useful.
Sessions are conducted in English. Helen asks people to use the service's booking flow to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange a first session. Payment is taken via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on active listening and the client's own goals. It involves the counsellor reflecting what is said, asking clarifying questions and supporting a person to find their own solutions; it suits people wanting a supportive space to talk through feelings and decisions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, sleep problems and low mood where focused steps and homework can help reduce symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and agree which methods to use together. This collaborative process means approaches can shift as needs change.
Confirm the exact session formats offered before booking, as the biography does not list formats in detail. Online counselling can make sessions easier to fit into a week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people choose whether to use video, phone or messaging where those options are provided by the service.
