About Helen

Helen Greenaway is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She works with people who feel overwhelmed by worry, low self-esteem, sleep problems or repeating patterns that hold them back. Helen helps with anger, anxiety, career stress, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues linked to ADHD.

Her approach is practical and person-focused. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to listen and explore what matters most to the client. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours. Psychodynamic ideas are drawn on to look at past patterns that repeat in present life.

Helen often supports people who are high-functioning externally but feel stuck inside. She talks through boundary setting, imposter feelings at work, rejection sensitivity related to ADHD, and difficulty sleeping from overthinking. Sessions can include coaching-style work to clarify goals and next steps.

She also works with compassion fatigue, grief around life changes, body image, and control or commitment issues. Practical strategies and short-term problem solving are used alongside deeper reflection when needed. Helen names and untangles patterns so clients can test new ways of acting.

Sessions are conducted in English and recent clients have used a mix of conversation, written feedback and focused exercises. Helen aims to respond promptly to messages and supports people who want clearer thinking, steadier mood, and better day-to-day coping.

How Helen uses different approaches in online work

Client-Centred Therapy is about the counsellor listening closely and following what matters to the client. It helps when someone needs space to name feelings, including anger, without a set agenda. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and introduces experiments to try new responses. It is useful for anxiety, sleep problems and anger-related patterns.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Helen will talk with the client about goals and preferences and agree together which methods to try. That means sessions can shift from talking and reflection to practical exercises or coaching-style steps as needed.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around a working day, avoid travel, or have shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also allows writing exercises and between-session tasks to be shared more easily. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, often find online sessions help sustain progress while fitting into daily life.
