About Helen
Helen Greenaway is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with four years' experience. She works in the United Kingdom and helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, life changes and related concerns.
Helen focuses on practical conversations about what is happening now. She often supports people who are high-functioning yet feel overwhelmed by worry, self-doubt or imposter feelings at work. Topics she commonly addresses include setting boundaries, sleep problems, anger, parenting pressures and relationship or intimacy difficulties.
Her work draws on a mix of approaches that suit different needs. Helen uses client-centred ways of listening alongside solution-focused techniques to identify small, workable steps. She also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to look at thoughts and behaviours, and psychodynamic ideas to consider patterns from the past that still affect present life.
Sessions typically involve talking through recent events, noticing unhelpful thinking or patterns, and trying out new ways of responding. Helen can help people name feelings like guilt, shame or emptiness, and work on practical strategies for coping with career stress, compassion fatigue or ADHD-related rejection sensitivity.
People who contact her are invited to a short matching questionnaire before booking a first session. Sessions are conducted in English and arrangements are confirmed at the start of contact. Helen asks people to check session details and options when they book so they know how they will meet.
Therapeutic approaches and online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience without judgement. It helps people who need a reflective space to clarify their feelings and decide on next steps.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions. It includes practical exercises to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new habits, which can help with anxiety, sleep problems and low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the person about their goals and preferences and agree which approaches to try. This is a joint decision and can change as sessions progress.
Session formats are not listed in the original profile, so please confirm the current options when booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a quieter, low-bandwidth option. Registered or accredited professionals often work this way to help make therapy more practical for everyday life.
