About Helen

Helen Fox is a BACP counsellor who offers person-centred support for adults and young people. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. Helen also works with issues around trauma, grief, self-esteem and life transitions.

Helen draws on person-centred ways of working to create a calm, respectful space for talking. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness to help clients notice patterns and try new responses. Attachment-based and existential ideas also inform how she looks at relationships and meaning.

Her practice combines practical tools and reflective conversation. Clients may work on coping strategies for anger, sleep or addictions, or on communication and career concerns. Helen also supports people dealing with parenting strain, chronic illness and body image worries.

Helen has four years of experience and sees people in the South East of England while accepting international enquiries. She offers appointments Monday to Friday, 9.00am to 6.45pm, and aims to reply to messages within one working day.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Helen uses therapeutic approaches in online work

Helen commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness in her practice. ACT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values, which can help with anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Mindfulness practice supports settling the body and attention, useful for stress, sleep problems and managing strong emotions.

She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. That approach helps when communication, intimacy or repeated relationship difficulties are a concern. These ways of working are explained simply and used alongside person-centred listening to suit each person's situation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify what feels most helpful based on your goals, preferences and what comes up in sessions. That decision can evolve over time as progress is made.

The practical benefits of arranging sessions online should be confirmed before booking since specific formats were not listed in the biography. Generally, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins or phone options when bandwidth or sightlines are limited, and it helps people maintain continuity of care across locations. Registered or accredited professionals can discuss the best arrangements when you begin.
