About Helen
Helen Wilkinson is a counsellor with nine years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She holds an NCPS credential and helps people cope with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, career worries, depression, addictions and trauma. She aims to make starting therapy less daunting and provides steady support as people begin change.
Helen creates a calm space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about without judgement. She listens first, then works with each person to set clear, manageable goals.
How Helen works
Sessions are practical and paced to suit what feels doable for the individual. Her approach draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, along with Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused methods. This allows Helen to combine listening with tools for changing unhelpful patterns and building motivation for new choices.
Helen also addresses issues tied to attachment, communication problems, codependency and intimacy-related concerns. She supports people dealing with chronic pain, illness or disability, and those navigating midlife questions or career crossroads. Discussions can include multicultural and identity factors when relevant.
Therapy with Helen often includes practical exercises, simple behaviour-focused plans and conversational coaching to boost confidence. She works collaboratively on the steps that matter most to each person. The aim is clearer thinking, better coping and steadier progress through life changes.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor mirrors concerns and helps the person feel heard, which supports clearer thinking and emotional relief. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviours interact and offers simple exercises to shift unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, low mood and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk through goals, preferences and what has helped in the past. Together they choose methods that suit the issue and the person's pace, adjusting as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a busy day and use less bandwidth, while live chat or messaging is useful for short check-ins and written reflection. These options make it easier to keep regular contact and work steadily on agreed goals.
