About Helen
Helen Newman is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people deal with depression, anxiety and stress. She also supports people facing relationship difficulties, grief, trauma and low self-esteem. Her manner is warm and non-judgemental, and she aims to make clients feel listened to and understood.
Helen has five years of experience working one-to-one with adults. She has delivered over 1,000 hours of therapeutic counselling and uses that experience to guide each session.
Background and approach
Helen adapts her style so sessions respond to what the client needs in the moment. Her practice is person-centred, which means the client’s priorities shape the work. She draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past patterns affect current feelings.
Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when clients want clear steps to change thoughts and behaviour. Hypnotherapy is also part of her toolkit and is offered as an option for clients who find guided relaxation and imagery helpful. Helen combines approaches in a way that is straightforward and practical, rather than rigidly following one method.
Sessions focus on helping people make sense of their situation, manage difficult emotions and build day-to-day coping skills. Helen aims to create a space where people can explore sensitive issues at their own pace. She encourages realistic goals and small changes that add up over time.

Approaches Helen lists

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It offers practical steps and exercises to change unhelpful thinking and reduce symptoms like low mood or anxiety. CBT can be helpful for people wanting clear strategies and homework tasks.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Helen will discuss different methods and agree a plan based on a client's needs, goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change over time as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy around daily life. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can suit people with lower bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera, and text or live chat can be handy for brief check-ins or when a quieter format feels better. These options give flexibility for timing, length and how people wish to communicate during their therapeutic journey.
