About Helen

Helen Fox is a BACP counsellor with four years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with adults and young people on concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress and relationship difficulties. Her practice also covers trauma and abuse, self-esteem, grief, addictions and a range of life changes.

Helen uses person-centred ways of working and draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness to help people notice what matters to them and make choices that match their values. Sessions are straightforward and focus on practical steps as well as on understanding feelings and patterns that contribute to difficulty.

She has experience supporting people with communication problems, intimacy-related issues and challenges around parenting and career decisions. Helen also works with concerns such as ADHD, body image, sleep and eating issues, and with those facing chronic illness or caregiving stress.

Her background includes work with young people and adults in the South East of England. She notes experience with trauma-informed methods and with people dealing with bereavement, abandonment issues and attachment difficulties. That experience informs how she approaches safety and pacing in conversations about painful material.

Helen keeps weekday practice hours and aims to respond to messages within one working day where possible. She welcomes enquiries from international clients and asks people to select the online therapy options button to complete a short matching questionnaire before arranging a first session.

How Helen’s approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what they value and take small, concrete steps towards those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, avoidance and for decisions about relationships or work. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on connections formed in relationships and looks at patterns that influence current difficulties. This can help when communication problems, intimacy concerns or abandonment issues are part of what someone wants to address. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills that reduce reactivity and help with stress, sleeping problems and persistent worry. These practices are often short and practical, and can be tried between sessions. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss methods and match them to the client’s goals and preferences. Sessions are collaborative, with planning that aims to suit the person’s needs and pace. Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing a shorter check-in between commitments, or offering options that do not require being on camera.
