About Helen
Helen Fox offers a person-centred counselling style that puts the client’s experience at the heart of sessions. She works in a direct, warm way and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. Helen uses practical conversations to help people find clearer choices and calmer responses.
Helen is a BACP counsellor. BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has four years of professional experience working with adults and young people across a range of concerns.
How Helen works
Her background includes supporting people through depression, trauma and grief as well as issues with self-esteem and addictions. Her practice covers many everyday struggles. These include sleep and eating difficulties, parenting strain, anger and career transitions.
She also helps people deal with intimacy-related issues, LGBT matters and neurodiversity topics such as autism and ADHD concerns. Helen blends approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and mindfulness within a person-centred framework. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs in the moment.
The aim is to build coping skills and increase emotional awareness rather than rely on one fixed method. She offers appointments by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different preferences. Helen accepts international clients and works from the United Kingdom.
To begin, a client fills in a short matching questionnaire and schedules a session according to therapist availability. Helen normally replies to messages within one working day during Monday to Friday practice hours. She is usually not available on UK public holidays.

How Helen's approaches work online
Helen often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values; this approach can help with anxiety, low mood and life transitions. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect current difficulties. Mindfulness therapy is used alongside these approaches to bring simple skills for calming and attention that suit everyday life.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, and then adapt techniques across ACT, attachment work and mindfulness. This is a collaborative process that starts with small steps and adjusts as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow a fuller conversational experience, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and short check-ins work well by chat or messaging. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
