About Helen
Helen Greenaway offers a warm, person-centred way of working that puts the client's experience at the heart of each session. She uses practical strategies alongside reflective conversation to help people manage anxiety, stress and low self-esteem. Helen holds BACP membership, which is shown as BACP in her credentials.
Helen helps people who feel stuck in loops of overthinking or who doubt themselves at work. She supports those coping with sleep problems, emotional overwhelm and ADHD-related rejection sensitivity.
How Helen works
Sessions also commonly cover issues around relationships, intimacy and career direction. Her short-term work often draws on solution-focused techniques to set clear goals and build small, achievable steps. Helen also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding.
When it helps, she brings in psychodynamic thinking to look at patterns that repeat across relationships and life choices. People can choose video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging to suit their routine. Helen aims to make sessions fit around busy lives and to create space for reflection between meetings.
She replies promptly and supports clients to find a pace that feels manageable. Helen has four years' experience working as a counsellor and coach. She works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.
The focus is on practical progress and exploring what matters most to each person.

Therapeutic approaches for online support
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. The therapist offers acceptance and reflection so people can find their own solutions and feel more confident about decisions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful thinking and to build new coping skills for anxiety, sleep and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Helen will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then try methods that match those aims. Decisions are collaborative and can be reviewed as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls suit in-depth conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging formats work well for short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and daily routines and to keep continuity between appointments.
