Helen Greenaway, BACP

Helen Greenaway is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to help people who feel overwhelmed, stuck or unsure what to do next. She focuses on anxiety, low self-esteem, stress and life changes. Helen also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, parenting strain, career worries and compassion fatigue. She holds BACP accreditation and has four years of experience.

Helen keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens first and helps people name what matters to them. Together they look at unhelpful thinking, patterns that hold people back, and small steps that can make daily life easier. Sessions can include focused problem solving and longer conversations about how past experiences shape present feelings.

Her background blends client-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques and psychodynamic ideas. That mix lets Helen combine short-term goal work with a look at deeper patterns when helpful. She also uses solution-focused tools to set clear, practical goals and track progress.

People who contact Helen often want help with attention and ADHD-related overwhelm, perfectionism, difficulty saying no, or repetitive negative thoughts at night. She also addresses issues such as body image, guilt and shame, grief, anger and feelings of emptiness.

Sessions are conducted in English and take place within the United Kingdom. Helen asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Practical therapy approaches for online sessions

Helen commonly uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, reflecting and building a trusting relationship so people can talk through what matters most. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and teaches practical ways to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and tackle low mood.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Helen will discuss what feels most useful and adjust methods as goals change. Together the person and therapist decide whether to focus on short-term problem solving, deeper reflection on patterns, or a mix of both.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work and family commitments and avoiding travel time. Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the profile. Online sessions can make it easier to keep regular appointments, use shorter check-ins when needed, and manage sessions from a location that suits daily life.
