Helen Marshall, NCPS

Helen Marshall works with people facing addictions, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and low self-esteem. She speaks plain and direct, and treats everyone with respect and compassion. Helen has three years of professional experience and is credentialed as NCPS in the United Kingdom. She builds a simple, tailored plan with each person. Conversations are shaped around what matters most to the client, not a fixed script. Helen combines talk-based methods with practical steps so people can practise new ways of coping between sessions. Her approach draws on attachment ideas to help people understand relationship patterns. She also uses client-centred work that focuses on the person's perspective and values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques are used when clients want to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Helen pays attention to the impact of trauma, including post-traumatic stress and abuse. She is familiar with addiction-related issues and with worries that come from adoption, fostering and caregiving roles. She also supports people dealing with shame, isolation, and life-purpose questions. Sessions are shaped to each person’s needs and may include talking, practical exercises, or guided imagery and hypnotherapy where appropriate. The aim is to help people feel more able to manage daily stresses and to make changes that matter to them.

How Helen's approaches work online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online conversations can help people notice those patterns and try different ways of relating in daily life. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions and gives space to be heard and understood, which helps when processing grief, shame or identity concerns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing practical changes; it is helpful for anxiety, social phobia and low self-esteem. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Helen will discuss goals and preferences and choose methods together with the person in a collaborative way. That means plans can change over time as needs and outcomes become clearer. Please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, such as attending from a quiet room at work during a break or avoiding travel time. It also allows shorter check-ins when needed and can let people work with a therapist from their local area while keeping sessions consistent with their schedule.
