How her approaches translate to online counselling
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It focuses on recognising attachment needs and improving responses in close relationships, which can help with intimacy and parenting concerns.Emotionally-Focused Therapy centres on emotions in the moment and on repairing relationship bonds. It aims to help partners or individuals understand attachment-related triggers and build different ways of interacting during conflict.
Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening and working at the client’s pace. It offers a space to reflect on feelings and choices without pressure to follow a set programme.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss needs, goals and preferences and agree together which methods to use. This is a collaborative process and can change as therapy progresses.
Helen provides online counselling only, so check which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into busy routines, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals commonly use online work to keep therapy accessible while focusing on emotional and relational change.
