About Helen
Helen Marshall is a counsellor with three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She supports people dealing with addictions, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and low self-esteem. Helen aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion as they begin the work of change.
Helen adapts conversations and plans to each person's needs. She uses a client-centred approach that focuses on the person's own goals and pace. That style means the person directs much of the work while the counsellor reflects, listens and helps clarify what matters most.
Her wider toolkit includes attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques to help with patterns that cause distress. Helen also works with psychodynamic perspectives and hypnotherapy approaches when these fit the person's aims. She will discuss which methods might suit a given concern and explain what would happen in sessions.
People come for practical help with cravings, managing traumatic memories, coping with loss, building self-worth, and navigating identity issues. Helen also supports those working through adoption and foster care matters, caregiver stress, communication problems, and feelings of isolation.
Sessions focus on steady, realistic steps rather than quick fixes. Helen offers a supportive space to talk things through, try new ways of coping, and build clearer goals for everyday life. To start, she asks about what you want to change and tailors the work from there.
Approaches that shape online counselling
Client-centred therapy puts the person at the heart of each session. It focuses on listening, reflecting and following the person's priorities so they can find their own solutions and set the pace of change.Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns. It can help people understand why they react a certain way in close relationships and learn new ways of connecting that feel safer and more reliable.
Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, is practical and skills-based. It helps identify upsetting thoughts and behaviours, then tests and replaces unhelpful patterns with more helpful ones for everyday life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will collaborate with the person to choose which methods to try based on needs, goals and preferences. That means trying an approach, checking how it feels, and adjusting the plan together.
Practical benefits of online counselling include easier fitting of sessions around busy days and avoiding travel time. Online work can make it simpler to have a shorter check-in or to choose whether to use video or not, but the exact session formats are not specified here. Please confirm current session options before booking so the chosen format matches daily routines and technical needs.
