Helen Lamming, NCPS

Helen Lamming helps people facing relationship and family difficulties. She sees concerns such as intimacy issues, parenting strain, anger, and problems with commitment or communication. Helen introduces herself gently and aims to make the first step feel manageable for worried people.

She works from a belief that clients know their own lives and brings respectful guidance rather than instruction. Her style is warm and practical, using listening, reflection and questions to help people find clearer next steps. Sessions can be shaped for shorter or longer work depending on need.

Helen has 11 years of clinical experience and more than 4,000 hours of counselling practice. Much of her background was spent at Relate where she specialised in relationship and family work during the week. She holds professional accreditation with NCPS and has a range of counselling diplomas and higher education degrees in psychology and education.

Her training and experience mean she often supports people with attachment difficulties, dissociation, autism and avoidant personality features. She also works with those affected by domestic violence, separation and blended family challenges. Helen is familiar with complex sexual cultures including BDSM and kink and can talk through related concerns without judgement.

Helen now offers online counselling from the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. She follows the CPCAB Code of Ethics and receives regular clinical supervision. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

Approaches that shape online counselling

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds influence feelings and reactions; it can help people understand and change how they connect with others. Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work, using empathic listening to build trust and help people articulate what matters to them. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotions in relationships and is often used when couples or partners want to repair or deepen their connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Helen will work collaboratively to identify which method or mix of methods best fits a person's goals, needs and style. That may mean starting with one way of working and adapting as clarity grows.

Because Helen practises online from the United Kingdom and accepts international clients, online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow sessions during afternoons, Fridays and weekends, and support people who need flexible arrangements. Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know how appointments are scheduled and what to expect.
