About Helen
Helen Greenaway is a counsellor who uses practical talking therapies to help people feeling overwhelmed, anxious or stuck. She draws on a few different approaches to support confidence, stress management and clearer thinking. Helen works with adults who want help with sleep, low mood, worrying thoughts and parenting challenges.
She combines client-centred listening with problem-focused strategies. That means sessions begin by understanding what matters to the person and then trying small, manageable changes.
Background and approach
Cognitive behavioural techniques may be used to spot unhelpful thinking and adjust responses to daily challenges. Psychodynamic ideas also inform her work, offering a way to look at recurring patterns and emotional triggers. This can help when past experiences keep shaping current reactions.
Solution-focused methods are used too, so sessions often include practical steps and goal-setting that can be tried between meetings. Helen trained as a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has four years of professional experience. She offers sessions in English and does not accept international clients.
Appointments are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. People who come to Helen commonly report issues such as anxiety, low self-esteem, parenting stress, relationship or intimacy-related concerns, sleep problems and work-related strain. She also supports those facing compassion fatigue, ADHD-related challenges and life transitions.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled according to therapist availability. Pricing varies with location and uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling and parenting support
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience without judgement. The therapist prioritises the person's own goals and helps them feel heard, which can be useful when sorting out parenting stresses or low self-esteem.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, works on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises to reduce worry, improve sleep and change unhelpful patterns people keep repeating in relationships or at work.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt methods based on the person's needs, goals and preferences. Decisions are made collaboratively so the plan fits day-to-day life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let people have a full conversation with visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging work well for ongoing support, brief reflections or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make therapy more flexible and help fit sessions around family life, work and other commitments.
