About Helen
Helen Howett is an NCPS-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, relationships, family problems, trauma and grief. Helen also offers support around career matters and life changes.
Her background includes medical science and childhood and youth studies, which she brings into straightforward, practical conversations. Sessions focus on talking through what is happening now and looking at patterns that have shaped current responses. She uses gentle questioning and reflective listening rather than technical jargon.
Helen draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how close relationships affect feelings and behaviour. She also works in a client-centred way, following what each person brings to the session. Mindfulness techniques are used to help with calmer thinking and taking manageable steps in everyday life.
Clients can expect clear, short-term goals when that fits, or longer exploration of recurring issues such as abandonment, codependency, or blended family tensions. Helen says she helps people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding in their day-to-day life.
Practical matters such as working hours are discussed when arranging sessions. She supports adults and couples and accepts international clients. To start, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and then book a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at the ways early and close relationships shape current feelings and interactions. Online sessions can be used to map relationship patterns and practise new responses to everyday triggers. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's experience in the moment. The therapist follows what the client brings and helps them make sense of it, which can be useful for tackling parenting stress, grief, or career decisions in step-by-step conversations. Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Helen will discuss goals and preferences with each person and agree what to try first. That might be short-term goal setting, regular reflective sessions, or practising mindfulness exercises between meetings. Practical benefits of working online include fitting sessions around work or childcare, reducing travel time, and keeping continuity when clients live abroad. The profile does not list which session formats are available; please confirm the current options before booking. Online work is used to help people make changes that they can apply in everyday life, such as calmer responses in family interactions or clearer decisions about relationships.Areas of focus
