About Helen
Helen Fox is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and anger. Helen also supports people dealing with grief, self-esteem problems, addictions and work or career strain.
She takes a person-centred approach in sessions, listening first and helping people talk through what matters to them. That often means identifying small, practical steps to change how a person reacts in tense moments. Helen uses mindfulness and acceptance-based ideas to help people notice thoughts and feelings without being pushed around by them.
Attachment-based work is part of her practice when relationship patterns and old wounds come up. Helen will look at how past experiences affect current responses and help people experiment with different ways of relating. She also draws on solution-focused and existential ideas to keep sessions grounded in present goals and meaning.
People see Helen for a wide range of issues, including parenting strain, sleep and eating concerns, ADHD-related challenges, and intimacy-related topics. She is comfortable talking about sexuality, kink, and alternative sexual cultures when these are part of a person’s story. Helen works with people on practical communication and coping skills as well as deeper emotional patterns.
Sessions are run during weekdays, and she aims to respond to messages within one working day. Weekend messages are replied to on the next working day, and Helen is usually not available on UK public holidays.
How Helen’s approaches translate to online work
Helen commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based approaches alongside person-centred listening. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and values-driven action, which can help with anger, anxiety and stress by shifting what people do when difficult feelings arise. Attachment-based work looks at relationship patterns and how past bonds shape current reactions, useful for resentments, intimacy issues and communication problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Helen will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and adapt techniques collaboratively. That means trying out strategies together and checking what helps most for day-to-day situations, such as reacting less quickly in heated moments or improving difficult conversations.
The practical benefit of remote sessions is fitting therapy into busy lives. Ask to confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to attend from a quieter time of day or to have shorter focused check-ins that fit a lunch break or commute. Registered and accredited professionals often use these options to help people keep progress moving between sessions.
