How Helene’s approaches work online
Helene commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and refocus on values-based action, which suits stress, anxiety and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and helps people practise small changes that reduce symptoms like low mood or insomnia.She also uses Client-Centred Therapy to create a listening space where each person’s experience guides the work. Choosing the right approach is a shared process - the therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, then adapt methods as progress is made.
Online therapy is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make sessions more flexible. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit into a busy day or need less bandwidth, and text or chat sessions work for shorter check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These options help people fit therapy into work, parenting or other daily demands while keeping the focus on practical change and emotional understanding.
