About Helen
Helen Greenaway is a counsellor who offers a calm space for people feeling overwhelmed by worry, low self-esteem or sleeplessness. She uses straightforward, practical conversations to help clients break unhelpful patterns and build confidence. Helen has four years of experience and holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as BACP.
Helen often supports people who are high-functioning but struggling inside. Common concerns she addresses include anxiety, stress, sleep problems, anger and depression.
Background and approach
She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, career doubts and challenges linked to ADHD. Her approach is flexible and centred on the person in front of her. Sessions focus on what each individual brings - their goals, worries and everyday life.
Helen mixes short-term practical tools with deeper reflection to suit different needs. She draws on a range of methods such as client-centred conversation to follow the client's lead, cognitive behavioural strategies to tackle unhelpful thinking, and psychodynamic ideas to look at longer-standing patterns. Solution-focused techniques are used when people want quicker, goal-oriented change.
Helen works online with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

Online support
Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical exercises. It is often useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems because it gives tools to change thinking patterns and behaviours.
Psychodynamic work looks at recurring patterns and early influences that shape how someone reacts now. This approach can help when people want to understand the roots of repeated difficulties in relationships or self-esteem.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Helen will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to use based on their goals and preferences. This can mean short-term goal work with solution-focused steps or deeper exploration with psychodynamic ideas, depending on what the client wants.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls allow more visual connection and fuller conversations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier for those who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, quick reflections or steady day-to-day support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to receive regular help without travel.
