About Helen
NCPS. 9 years of professional experience. Helen Wilkinson works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, career worries, depression, addictions, trauma and intimacy-related issues, and ADHD. She also addresses self-esteem, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue, using the counselling approaches she lists in her practice.
Helen uses mostly Client-Centred and solution-focused ways of working alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and motivational interviewing. She aims to help people talk through feelings and make practical changes. Sessions focus on what a person wants to change and on small steps that can be tried between meetings.
In conversation she pays attention to patterns in relationships and attachment. For people dealing with relationship strains she draws on Imago Relationship Therapy ideas to look at recurring conflicts and improve communication. For concerns linked to substance use or low motivation she uses motivational interviewing to explore ambivalence and build commitment to change.
She has nine years of experience in the UK and carries the NCPS credential. Helen notes experience with multicultural concerns and issues such as chronic pain, codependency, infidelity and midlife transitions among others. The work can include straightforward problem solving, building coping strategies, and addressing barriers to change.
If someone wants to start, the usual first steps are to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange an initial session. It is sensible to confirm current session formats before booking so the practical arrangements suit the person's day-to-day life.
Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience and aims to give space for thoughts and feelings to be heard. It helps people who want to explore emotions and decide their own next steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offers practical techniques for anxiety, depression and stress-related problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and together they will choose methods that match the person's goals, needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can change as the work progresses.
Confirm the current session formats before booking so the practical arrangements fit your life. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also means people can attend from a different location to where they live, which can help with scheduling and continuity of care.
