About Helen
Helen Greenaway is a counsellor who blends practical talking therapies with coaching to help people manage anxiety, stress and low self-esteem. She uses straightforward conversation to untangle overthinking, build confidence and break unhelpful patterns. Helen mentions experience supporting people with sleep problems, work-related self-doubt and relationship boundaries. She holds BACP accreditation, listed as BACP, and works from the United Kingdom.
Her approach is person-focused and collaborative. She draws on client-centred therapy to place the person’s experience at the heart of sessions, and uses cognitive behavioural ideas to name patterns of thinking that feed worry. Helen also uses psychodynamic thinking to look at longer-standing patterns, and solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals people can try between meetings.
She has four years’ experience and often meets people who describe themselves as high functioning but inwardly struggling with constant worry, imposter feelings, or difficulty setting limits. Helen also lists ADHD, compassion fatigue and parenting strain among the concerns she supports. She works in English and accepts clients based in the United Kingdom only.
Practicalities are kept simple. Sessions follow a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability. Helen aims to reply promptly to messages and keeps communication clear and direct.
Her style is warm and down-to-earth. Conversations are intended to be calm, focused and aimed at small, manageable changes people can try between sessions.
How Helen’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s own experience and aims to make sessions feel like a supportive conversation. This approach helps when someone needs to be listened to, understood and helped to make their own choices.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and suggests practical ways to change patterns that keep anxiety or low mood going. It can be helpful for sleep problems, worry and work-related self-doubt.
Psychodynamic thinking pays attention to patterns that have developed over time and how past experiences shape present reactions. This can be useful when someone wants to understand recurring difficulties in relationships or self-image.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Helen will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and she will adapt methods with the person’s input so sessions match their needs. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, whether someone needs a shorter check-in, a time that fits around work, or not having to travel. The original biography lists video call, phone and messenger as ways to connect, so please confirm which of those formats are currently offered before booking. Many people find online sessions allow practical continuity and easier follow-up between meetings.
