Heli Annika Giles

Heli Annika Giles is a counsellor who works from a person-centred approach. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and brings three years of practice to her work. She speaks English and Finnish and offers support to people in the United Kingdom.

Heli focuses on everyday problems that feel heavy and hard to handle. She talks with people about anxiety, stress and burnout, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, grief, parenting pressures and trauma. She also helps with work and career concerns and the worries that come with big life changes.

Her style is warm and down-to-earth. She sees counselling as a space where the person decides what to talk about. The counsellor’s role is to listen, reflect and help clients make sense of their feelings and choices. Sessions often include looking at unhelpful thinking, building coping skills and noticing patterns that keep problems going.

Heli draws on client-centred ways of working alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-based thinking, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Existential ideas. She aims to help people notice what matters to them and take small steps that match their values.

People can expect practical conversation, gentle challenge and a focus on what the client wants to achieve. Progress is reviewed together so the work stays relevant. If you want to start, the site process will guide you through matching and booking a first appointment.
