About Helen
Counsellor Helen Lamming is a UK practitioner and a member of the NCPS with 11 years of experience. She works with relationship and family concerns and also helps with intimacy-related issues, parenting and anger. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.
Helen focuses on practical talk in sessions. She listens to what matters most and helps people notice patterns in their relationships. That might mean looking at how attachment affects trust, or how communication breakdowns escalate conflict. She uses tried approaches such as Attachment-Based work, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Internal Family Systems to guide the work.
Her background includes long experience at Relate and more than 4,000 hours of counselling practice. She has a CPCAB Certificate of Proficiency, a Relate CPCAB Diploma in Family Counselling, a Relate Level 5 Diploma in Relationship Counselling, an M.Ed in Psychology of Education, a BA (Hons) in Psychology and a PGCE. The NCPS membership is listed on her profile.
Helen offers both short-term agreements and ongoing work. She sees individual adults and people who want to focus on couple or family patterns, and she will discuss how many sessions might help. Appointments are arranged through the site process and she works with people across different backgrounds, neurotypes and identities.
She now practises online from the UK and aims to fit sessions around people’s lives. Before booking, people should confirm the current session options and practical arrangements using the online booking flow.
How her therapeutic approaches work online
Attachment-Based work looks at how early relationships shape current trust and closeness. It helps when patterns of avoidance or anxiety affect repeat arguments and emotional distance.Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on moments of emotional disconnection between people. It helps couples and partners name feelings, change interaction cycles and rebuild closeness through clearer emotional expression.
Helen treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with a person about goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that fit those aims. Choices about methods are revisited as the work progresses so the approach can be changed if needed.
She practises online from the UK. The site booking flow explains how to arrange sessions; please confirm which session types are currently offered before you book. Online work can make scheduling easier for people who have busy days, care responsibilities or who live some distance from central services. It also allows shorter check-ins or afternoon appointments when that suits a person’s routine.
