About Helen

Helen Fox is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She offers person-centred support to adults and young people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. Helen aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what matters to them and find practical ways to cope.

With four years of experience, Helen has worked with a wide range of concerns. These include trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, addictions and issues around intimacy. She also supports people dealing with parenting pressures, career changes, sleep and eating problems, and the challenges of living with long-term health conditions.

Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment work and mindfulness alongside client-centred and existential ideas. In sessions she focuses on what a person wants their life to look like and explores small, achievable steps towards those goals. Helen emphasises building new skills while recognising the weight of past experiences.

People often come to Helen for help with coping during big changes or after traumatic events, including natural or human-caused disasters. She also works with people managing compassion fatigue and ADHD-related concerns. Her practice aims to be practical and straightforward, helping people to practise new ways of responding to stress.

Responses to messages are usually within one working day during Monday to Friday working hours. Messages sent at the weekend are replied to on the next working day, and Helen is typically not available on UK public holidays.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being led by them, and then commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with big life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and aims to build more secure ways of relating to others and to oneself. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping people find their own answers rather than offering direct advice.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss a person's needs, goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be adapted over time as priorities change.

The therapist's profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and to attend from different locations. It can also allow a shorter check-in when time is limited, or a quieter conversation when travel would be difficult. Registered or accredited professionals often use online sessions to maintain continuity of care and to help people keep therapy part of their everyday life.
