About Helen

Helen Lamming is a counsellor who helps people with relationship strain, family conflict, intimacy concerns, parenting challenges and anger. She offers practical support for everyday problems that affect connection at home. Helen writes plainly and meets people where they are in their lives.

She uses an empathic, respectful manner and treats each person as the expert on their own life. Sessions focus on understanding patterns, improving communication and finding workable steps to change.

Background and approach

Helen adapts her approach to what the client needs in the moment. Helen brings 11 years of practice experience and more than 4,000 hours of counselling work. She has worked at Relate, providing relationship and family counselling, and has supported people with a wide range of concerns.

Her background includes study of psychology and education and a mix of professional qualifications, including NCPS. Her work covers attachment-related difficulties, codependency and blended family issues, as well as particular areas such as fertility concerns, separation and divorce, and some neurodiversity-related topics. Helen also supports people exploring intimacy, kink and alternative sexual cultures when this affects relationships.

She offers online sessions to both short-term and longer-term clients, using video, phone and messaging formats. Helen aims to be flexible about scheduling and to make therapy fit around family and work life. People who want a straightforward, compassionate counsellor often choose to begin a conversation with her.

Online support

Approaches that shape online work and what to expect

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connection patterns affect current relationships. It helps people understand why they and their partners may react in certain ways and supports building steadier emotional bonds.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on the emotional experience within relationships. It helps people name feelings, shift unhelpful interaction cycles and strengthen closeness with partners or family members.

Finding the right method is part of the work together. Helen will talk with clients about goals and preferences and suggest approaches that fit their needs. Decisions about which methods to use are collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation when seeing expression matters. Phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit quick reflections, ongoing support between sessions or people who prefer writing to speaking. Many people find this range helps therapy fit around family life and work commitments.
