About Miss
Miss Helen Fox is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with ten years' experience. She works with people living with trauma and the common problems that follow, such as anxiety, depression, relationship strain and anger. Helen also supports those coping with grief, parenting pressures and career or life changes.
She has spent much of her career working with survivors of sexual abuse and domestic violence. That work led her to support people who feel stuck in repeating patterns, such as codependency, narcissistic abuse dynamics or self-sabotage. Helen describes her role as helping people understand why those cycles repeat and how past events shape present behaviour.
Sessions are practical and conversational. She uses careful questioning and reflection to uncover unhelpful patterns. Helen talks through coping strategies and problem-solving steps rather than using jargon. She aims to help clients spot the moments they lose control and find alternatives that fit their life.
Helen has also worked in health care settings supporting people with learning disabilities and people with complex needs such as bipolar disorder or dissociation. That broad experience informs her approach with clients who feel misunderstood or isolated.
Her sessions mix straightforward listening with gentle challenge, humour and human feeling. She encourages people to notice the small changes that reduce anger, rebuild trust and improve relationships. To begin, clients use the site matching process and book a first appointment to see how the work might go.
Background and approach continues to focus on trauma-informed listening and practical steps. Helen explains patterns of behaviour plainly, helps set simple goals, and works with clients to try out different ways of responding. She sees progress as a series of small shifts rather than sudden fixes, and she supports people through the slow work of changing long-established habits.
Therapeutic approaches and how they translate to online work
Helen describes her work as trauma-informed and pattern-focused. She explains how past events create behaviour that repeats in the present and then helps people try different responses. That approach helps with anger that comes from feeling trapped in old reactions, and it also applies when addressing relationship conflict or self-sabotage.She also uses practical problem-solving techniques that break a difficulty into steps. These techniques look at specific moments when someone loses control, and then plan small alternative actions to try. Practical steps are useful for stress, work-related frustration and everyday triggers of anger.
Finding the right combination of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and the immediate problems you want to address, and then agree a way of working together. Clients decide with her which methods to use and how quickly to try them out.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and avoid travel time. It can also let people use audio-only sessions when bandwidth is limited or choose video when visual interaction helps the work.
