About Helen
Helen Lamming, NCPS, helps people facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, intimacy concerns and anger. She also supports people dealing with attachment wounds, fertility stress, blended family tensions and issues linked to autism and avoidant personality patterns. Her approach aims to make hard conversations clearer and more manageable.
She follows a client-centred way of working that puts the person’s experience at the heart of each session. She combines that with attachment-based ideas and emotionally focused approaches to look at how patterns between people affect feelings and behaviour. Trauma-focused methods and Internal Family Systems are used where helpful to untangle painful past events and conflicting parts of the self.
Helen trained in psychology and education and holds NCPS accreditation. She also has Relate qualifications in relationship and family counselling, a CPCAB Certificate of Proficiency, and a Relate CPCAB Level 5 Diploma in Relationship Counselling. Her background includes many hours of practice with couples and individuals in a relationship-focused setting.
She has around 11 years’ experience and has completed over 4,000 hours of counselling work. She works with people from varied backgrounds and identities and receives regular clinical supervision to support her practice. Sessions can be arranged for short blocks or on an open-ended basis depending on the person’s needs.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Helen works from a client-centred stance that keeps the person’s priorities front and centre. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting and helping people weigh options so they feel more confident about choices and next steps.She also uses attachment-based ideas to understand how early bonds shape current relationship patterns. This can help when people want to change repeated cycles of hurt or distance. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is another strand she uses to look at core emotions and how they show up in relationships, which can help with intimacy and communication problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Helen will discuss different methods with each person and decide together which fits best with their goals and preferences. That conversation is collaborative and may involve trying a short course of focused sessions first.
Her practice is offered online; please confirm the exact session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy weeks, avoid travel time, and keep check-ins brief when needed. It also lets people attend from different locations, which suits international clients and those with varied schedules.
